"Two things made an impression on me in this book:
1) Ansel's nose was broken by the 1906 earthquake. 2) Ansel never imagined and purposed his photos to be the poster images for conservation. He simply captured beauty.
I was disappointed photos weren't included in the book. Especially when he mentions specific photos and the context...and no photo to see. Boo.
Other than that, I found it a little dry. But hey, he was a nature photographer and proponent, not an action hero."
"Another interesting look at the celebrities of the 30's and 40's and the growth of the environmental movement. Lots of stories about the artists of his time."
