Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams

      Ansel Adams was born in San Francisco, California on February, 20, 1902. Ansel was born into a rich family that was created by her grandfather, a wealthy timber baron. Her father was Charles Hitchhock Adams, who was a successful business man and a husband to Olive Bray. In 1907 though, nothing was left after a horrible earthquake that ruined the family fortune. During that earthquake, Adams broke his nose and it gave him his infamous look.

I really love this image because it is so screwed up. I love how the tree is all going the wrong way and the rocks are all flat like the tree is taking over.
I like this photo because there is almost a contrast between the different kinds of leaves. You don't really see the ever green pine needles with a regular leaf from a different tree falling together. Many artist have taken a picture with a group of one kind of leaf but this artist is combining the different kinds to make something unique and it totally worked for him.
