about Ansel Adams photograph

1. Ansel Adams’ first experiences with photography were during a family trip to Yosemite in 1916, which his father gave him a Brownie Box Camera.

It is more than kindness, which is the giving of self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.

He is famous for his black and white photography of nature and landscapes, photo Autumn Moon, Cathedral Peak and Lake, Frozen Lake and Cliffs, and many more…
