Ansel Adams, born in San Francisco in 1902,
was an American landscape photographer. In 1916, at the age of
14, a trip to Yosemite, California inspired him to to photograph
the majesty of the American wilderness. He took pictures of mountains,
deserts, enormous clouds, and towering trees. Adams' first exhibition
was in San Francisco in 1939. He was educated at Yale University
and started the first college department in photography. Adams
adopted Paul Strand's "straight photography" as his
medium of expression. In 1932 he formed Group f/64 with Edward
Weston and other proponents of straight photography, establishing
photography as an art form. Adams was an ardent conservationist
and served as director of Sierra Club from 1936 to 1973. He died
in 1984.
