Ansel Adams Photo

Photo of foam on water.

       This photo is my favorite because you can't tell what the photo is of the first time you look at it. Also it kind of looks like space with the stars and planets mixing together.


Ansel Adams was born February 20, 1907 in San Francisco, California. Ansel was a dyslexic child, not being able to understand the information that was taught to him in public schools. He switch public school many times until he joined Wilkins Private school getting his legitimizing diploma like completing 8th grade. Ansel taught himself how to play the piano and read music. Soon after he started taking lessons. That's when he decided to work in the music field. And that was his occupation for 12 years until he switched to photography. In 1927, he decided to become a full photographer and took his first fully visualized photograph, monolith, the Face of Half Dome. Three other interesting facts about Ansel include that he described himself as a photographer, lecturer, and writer implicating that he was a compulsive communicator. Also, there was no such things as vacations for Ansel, not even weekends, he only worked. Lastly, he admired another photographer called Alfred Stieglitz and based his work off of his com positional outlook.
