Ansel Adams

A unique vision through the camera lens, Portraits of nature in black and white. Letting the beauty of contrast speak. The California Coastline, the Sierras, The Southwest..all in the starkest outline. And Yosemite, whose grandeur he loved best. A life spent capturing these wonders Letting his work inspire; an incentive To protect these treasures for all our tomorrows. For a look at his work to to: www.anseladams.com

Very nice poem, Barbara. Visited the Ansel Adams gallery at Yosemite and brought home a copy of one of his photos of Half-Dome. It's hanging on the wall in my guest room. What a talent he had for capturing "the starkest outline" as you say. A great tribute to an amazing artist! Love, Carolyn
