Ansel Adams was a photographer who was best known for his black and white pictures of Yosemite National Park in California. He was born on February 20, 1902 and died on April 22, 1984. Adams father gave him his first camera, a Kodak Brownie Box Camera before. In 1916, with his camera in hand, Adams and his family visited Yosemite National Park; where his interest first began. He spent his own time reading magazines and books about photography and also attended meetings and joined clubs to get a better knowledge about photography.
Adams is best known for his landscape pictures of Yosemite. He made the pictures black and white to add more affects and emotion into the photo. His passion for photography and landscape portraits have truly left an impact on other photographers and have inspired many people to do the same thing as he did.

leads your eyes to the mountains that are
