"I did not know much about Ansel Adams, however, this book not only told me who he was and what he was about, it enabled me to see into his thought process and his idea of beauty."
"I picked this book up in the gift shop at Zion National Park last week. It's fantastic! Ansel Adams photographs really don't need any commentary.
What I really liked about this book is how the author included letters and telegrams that Ansel Adams sent to members of Congress. He frequently lobbied for preservation of some of our national parks. He wasn't just a guy who took pretty pictures. He was the head of the Sierra Club for a time and he was very active in protecting the national parks that he photographed.
On a side note, this book helped me compose mountain shots at Red Rock Canyon several days later."
