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

Great capture and tribute. Not familiar with the man and his work but sounds like my kind of adventurer. Will have to check out more about him.
