Ansel Adams is one of America?s most popular and enduring photographers. His well-known photographs of America?s national parks, especially Yosemite and others in the West, are remarkable for their timeless celebration of the unblemished American landscape. Adams was an astute master of photographic technique who utilized perfectly the capabilities of his chosen medium to portray the untold beauty of the natural world. His photographs are an eloquent statement of an artist seeking order and truth and a permanent record of America?s wild beauty achieved by a man whose own nature was as immutable as the Earth he loved.
