THE MASTER

AAA

Best known for his visually stunning black and white photographs of the American West, Ansel Adams (1902-1984) is truly an inspiration. If a picture is worth a thousand words then he is able to write an epic every time. I can easily get lost in the tension and grandeur that he is able to capture with in his photography. A true master and pioneer of an era that is slowly pasing us by.

"At one with the power of the American landscape, and renowned for the patient skill and timeless beauty of his work, photographer Ansel Adams has been a visionary in his efforts to preserve this country's wild and scenic areas, both on film and on Earth. Drawn to the beauty of nature's monuments, he is regarded by environmentalists as a monument himself, and by photographers as a national institution. It is through his foresight and fortitude that so much of America has been saved for future Americans."

President James E. Carter
