With a career spanning over half a century Ansel Adams has become one of the most prominent photographers of our time.Through black and white photos, Adams captured the tranquil beauty of America’s parks and scenic treasures, focusing for the most part on the western mountains.

These serene images are explained best in Ansel Adams own words, "I believe in people and the simple aspects of human life and in the relation of man to nature. I believe that man must be free, both in spirit and society, that he must build strength into himself, affirming the enormous beauty of the world, and acquiring the confidence to see and express his vision."
