Ansel Adams was a very well-known photographer for his black and white photos. Adams managed to earn what he termed a "Legitimizing diploma" from the Mrs. Kate M. Wilkins Private School. Ansel had another profession besides being a photographer. He enjoyed playing the piano and wanted to do it for a profession and ended up playing it for a long time. His first fully visualized photography, monolith, the Face of the Dome was created in 1927. A few things about Ansel was that when he was only four an aftershock of the great earthquake and fire of 1906 threw him to the
ground and badly broke his nose, distinctly marking him for life. Because of him breaking his nose it caused Adams to have problems fitting in at school. Later in life he
noted that he might have been diagnosed as hyperactive. There is also
the distinct possibility that he may have suffered from dyslexia. I chose this picture because I love how it looks like the clouds are devouring the mountain. All the shadows in the clouds are really visual as well as on the water and mountains.
