Description

Ansel Adams was born on February 20, 1902, in San Francisco to Charles and Olive Adams. He states that he lived a happy, peaceful childhood in his autobiography. "My closest experience with profound human suffering was that earthquake and fire (in 1906). But we were not burned out, ruined, or bereft of family and friends. I never went to war, too young for the First and too old for the Second" (5-8). The only true suffering he experienced was frequent illness, according to his accounts (Adams 9). His interest in nature, however, was with him even in childhood. Adams enjoyed exploring the outdoors, and his favorite activity was collecting insects. Running, walking along the beach, and golfing were other activities he enjoyed http://www.veritasdigital.com/ansel_adams/biography.html I took this in Utah on the East side of Zion park. I think someone else took a similar picture and posted here 2-3 years ago and I would bet it probably is the same gentleman I shot it in monochrome thanks for viewing and any comments have you seen Mapps and richardphotos Megalithic Rooms

Fantastic Richard! And thanks for the info/bio! Love Adams! I heard an assistant of his tell a story, about Ansel Adams patience. He said that Adams wanted to get a snow shot in a particular place, at a particular time of year and time of day. For years he would go to the same location, at the same time. He would setup and take the picture, but he never got it. Year after year he would come back to the same place at the same time of year/day. and one day he got it. And never returned. When I look at his photo's I now understand how he did it, unbelievable patience! This is an awesome tribute!
