Ansel Adams was a famous photographer. In addition to his photography, he was also an environmentalist. His father always supported and encouraged him whereas his mother spent her time fretting about the fortune they'd lost. He had trouble in school both with friends, and the work. Much of his education was from his father and aunt tutoring him. Adams was very highly influenced by his deep love of nature and enjoyed spending his time amongst it. From the time he was twelve to the time he was twenty-four he lived a life full of music. He had a gift with the piano and had intended playing it to be his main occupation.Adams spent his summers at the LeConte Memorial Lodge and eventually met his wife there. He married Virginia Best is 1928 and they had two children. His first full visualized photograph, Monolith, the Face of the Half Dome was created in 1927.
I chose this picture because it shoes the intense detail of something that's not perfect. However, in the background you can see horizon, which looks absolutely gorgeous and right. It reminds me of life, because things might not be great now, but when you look into the distance it's all okay.
