Ansel Adams is a famous photographer who is known for his photagraphy of nature. As a child he went to lots schools, he didnt really fit in because as a result of the after shock of a earthquake he broke his nose changing his appearance forever. He was an environmentalist and worked at Yosemite National Park. His first famous photo was taken in 1927. Ansel Adams taught himself how to play piano at the age of twelve and also taught himself how to read music.His work is used still today in calenders, books and posters. I chose the picture above because I like the beach and the water, the way the sun glistens of the water in black and white really makes stand out more.
