Ansel Adams



Ansel Adams was born in 1902 in San Fransisco. When Adams was four there was a aftershock that changed his life and broke his nose. Adams then had problems fitting in at school. Adams then was diagnosed with dyslexia witch made it really hard to be good in school. He then got home schooled and got a diploma stating he had completed the eight grade from Mrs. Kate Willkins Private School. Adams loved the outdoors. At age 12 he taught himself the piano. Later on he gave up piano for photography.1927 was the year Adams life took a tole on photography. It was the year his first fully photograph, Monolith, the Face of Half Dome was found.

i chose this picture because i love all the detail you can take out of it. the water going to a slow movement. The rocky land on the side of the water. The clouds themselves hold most of the detail. With how this picture holds the three different types of clouds. Adams captured in one picture.
