Ansel Adams 1902 to 1984
One of my favorite Photographers is Ansel Adams. He was a commercial Photographer for over 30 years; although he was not a digital photographer he was one of the greatest of our time.
Born in 1902 his landscape photography was inspired by a boyhood trip to Yosemite before it became a National Park. He received 3 grants to photograph the National Parks between 1944 and 1958. Ansel Adams commitment and dedication to the preservation of wilderness and the environment made him a folk hero and a symbol of the American West.
As a member of the Sierra Club, he was on the board of directors for 37 years during which time the club grew and became a powerful national organization that lobbied for the National Parks and to protect the environment.
