No one has visually captured the rugged beauty of North American like Ansel Adams.

The photographs are arranged chronologically into five major periods, from his first photographs made in Yosemite and the High Sierra in 1916 to his work in the National Parks in the 1940s up to his last important photographs from the 1960s.

My friend Amber gave me this book for my birthday one year. Ansel Adams is the master of black & white photography! He has some of the most striking images in here! I think this is one of the better collections of his works! Black & white photography is hard to do but he makes it look so easy!

This is an awesome book - and not one you can read in one session, as there are so many images included and it's easy to become overloaded. The book is divided into sections corresponding to different decades of his life, and it's interesting to see the progression of his art.

Some truly stunning photos in here, some excellent, some very good, and some of his early ones (at 18, we'll cut him some slack on those!). Seriously worth it for anyone who likes photography, black and white, and landscapes.

Some of these pictures are truly perfect. The scenery is beautiful. Ansel Adams was a very talented photographer especially after learning he developed all of his own pictures.

What amazing pictures! They make me feel like I am there. Liked the notes on selected photographs at the back, and the glimpse of Ansel Adams the person in the afterword.
