Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams was born on February 20, 1902 and died April 22, 1984. His black and white photographs of the American West have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and books. Between 1929 and 1942 his work and reputation developed. By the 1960s appreciation f or photography in art form developed to the point which Adams photographs were shown in large galleries and museums. 

This picture is one of many photos taken by Ansel Adams. This is a picture of a forest in black and white, it has a lot of depth of field because some trees are closer than others and the trees in the background look smaller. I think something interesting about this picture is how the only thing you can see is the trees, the background is black. It looks like it was maybe taken at night or something.
