There are legends, and then there is the god-like genius of Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams is considered one of the most important and influential landscape photographers of the 20th century. He is best known for his iconic images that document US national parks, including, most famously, Yosemite National Park and other protected areas of the great American West. Adams (1902-1984) was born in San Francisco and grew up in the Golden Gate area; his love for nature was developed exploring as a child. His grandfather founded a successful lumber business which his father later inherited, but it collapsed in the financial Panic of 1907.
