Ansel Adams was one of the best photographers in the world. He lived in a rich family until the Great Depression when his family lost practically all their money. Adams was home schooled by is father and aunt until he went to privet school where he got his diploma equivalent to finishing the eight grade. Before Adams became the great photographer we know his as today he played the piano. He tough himself for the most part and he intended on becoming professional. In 1927 he took is first high trip and took the pictures monolith an the Face of Half Dome and he also came under the influence of Albert M. Bender. Ansel was a big commercial photographer for schools and businesses. Adams was a environmentalism especially for Yosemite National park he took most of his pictures there. Most of his life he was broke and would drink way his sorrows but he called him self a teacher. I like this picture because I like how the tree is bending trowed the ground like it is trying to get away from the sun.
