| This picture taken by Ansel Adams is gorgeous. You get a nice bright white to dark greys and blacks from left to right. This picture pops out to me because of all of its beautiful natural elements. |
Before private school, Ansel had troubles fitting in to public schools. He had a distorted nose and was diagnosed with hyperactivity. After being home schooled for a while, he moved on to get a "legitimate diploma" from Mrs. Kate M. Wilkins Private School. Other than being a photographer, Adams greatly enjoyed music. He played piano, and originally wanted to be a concert pianist, but realized that he couldn't ever live on that kind of money. When he got into photography, his first visualized photograph, the Face of Half Dome, was created in 1927. He was part of the Sierra Club, artist of Sierra, Nevada, and defender of Yosemite.
