Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams was born on February 20,1902. In San Fransisco California. A large earthquake and fire had damaged him for life. He had a very rough childhood, No one really supported him except for his father. Ansel struggled in school a lot because the earthquake had damaged his nose and it was hard for him to fit in at school. He did not do well in school and he was tutored by his father and his aunt before trying private school. When he was twelve he taught himself to play piano and he played for quite a few years and by 1920 it was his intended profession. Ansel created his first fully visualized photograph monolith, and the face of half dom,were created in 1927. In 1927 he also met another photographer named Edward Weston. which they became very important to each other. Ansel also struggled a lot with financial problems in his life.

I chose this photo because the trees have a lot of depth to it and it looks like a forest scene right out of a movie. With the dark of the forest the trees really stand out in the picture. The forest looks like its never ending it just keeps going and going.
