Fact #1

Fact #3

Ansel Adams is considered to be the most "American" photographer ever, both in his subject matter and his personality.

 What stands out most through his work, is his ability to capture the raw emotion in the wild, unmapped landscapes, the peace, the tranquility, but also the loneliness, and the somber beauty that we hold so dear to our hearts. Through his work we see natural treasures that must be protected at all costs.

Ansel Adams' "claim to fame" was his extensive and thorough documentation of our natural treasures, through what was absolutely the best level of photography at the time. His work set a standard for every artist to come, a bar set high enough to immortalize his work forever.
