Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams has been a very successful and famous photographer. He was born in 1902 and passed away in 1984. He didn't fit in in the several schools his parents made him attend so his father and aunt tutored him at home and later on attended to Mrs. Kate M. Wilkins private school where he then got a diploma. Adams also enjoyed the piano, he had played it since he was a little kid and that was his first career until he was  “colored and modulated by the great earth gesture” of the Yosemite Sierra that's when he decided to join the photography field. His first actual visualized picture happend in 1927. He had broken his nose really bad so in the schools he went a lot of people would pick on him and bug him about his nose. Even though he was a very recognized artist and stayed busy he was still broke and still not winning enough money to keep him financially well. He would often labored for eighteen or more hours a day, for days and weeks on end. He would even work on holidays and Sundays.



I chose this picture because I like how it shows the whole landscape and how clear it looks. It makes you feel like you're there. It's going from dark to light and then it looks like it fades into the clouds.
