The subject here is the photographer himself, Ansel Adams (1902-1984), shown in the Yosemite setting where he spent much of his working life. Adams first visited the valley as a teenager and returned for decades, producing the large black-and-white views that shaped how many Americans picture the Sierra Nevada. The record lists 1953 as a date tied to the item, a period when Adams was also active in wilderness conservation and teaching his methods of exposure and development. Images of the man behind the camera are a useful counterpoint to his landscapes.
