ansel Adams

Ok, so here is the thing about Ansel Adams...I LOVE his work!! I first encountered him at the Boise Art Museum like 3 semesters ago. I was in a humaities class and we were suppossed to go to the museum and pick something to write about. I didn't end up writing about Ansel because we had to pick a sculpture, but his photographs really rang true to me. Ansel does a lot of the kind of photography that I enjoy doing. I love taking pictures of nature. What I also think is cool is that Ansel Adams never had a formal photography teacher. He was just naturally gifted and the rest he learned through watching others and trial and error. I had a hard time just picking a few pictures to post, but at the bottom of this post is a web site that has a lot of his photographs and a Bio on his life if you are interested in more. http://www.anseladams.com/ansel_art/faves.html
