Ansel Adams is one of the most well known photographers in the U.S., he was born in Feb. 20th 1902. He was both an environmentalist and a photographer, which to me seems like a good combination. When he was a child he did not do well in many schools and was tutored at his home by his Aunt until his parents attempted to move him into a private school. His first photo "The Face of Half Dome" was created in 1960. His appearance is the way it is because when he was four an earthquake caused him to crash into a wall and break his nose. His artistic plan was originally to be a pianist not a photographer. Ansel Adams actually helped create a national park somewhere in America.
