Ansel Adams Photo

Ansel Adams was and still is to be the worlds best black and white photographer. His profession before photography was a pianist. he taught himself how to read music and play the piano by the age of twelve. He earned his "legitimizing diploma". Before private school and earning he diploma he was went o public school and all the students made fun of him because of the earthquake he was a victim of and got his nose terribly broken. Besides being a photographer he also wrote ten volumes in technical manuals of photography. He established his own museum of his fine art. His very first visualized piece of art , the monolith, was made in 1927. That was the most pivotal year for Adam and his career. He had some financial struggles throughout his career because of his slow process with the developing of his pictures. He had asked his colleagues for help through letters. Adam attended numerous meetings and wrote many letter for the wilderness and environment associations. He wanted to give his gratitude and help with the work he was doing.  The wilderness was his passion to take his photos. In most or all of his art you see trees, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, mountains and everything you beautifully created by nature. He took time an effort into his work and made it beautiful and serene. I chose this photo because it represents the beauty of nature and the mysterious  shadows you have in he background of the trees. You wonder whats deeper in the forest as he takes this picture. A colored version of this photo would give you too much detail, where as it being black and white it leaves you with questions but yet a very simple story telling only what you can see. Everything you see in the picture is what it can only tell. I highly like this picture rather than any of the other ones because this one stood out more.
