Ansel Adams Post

      After the earthquake in 1906 Ansel has not been the same, he would clasp with the sound of a earthquake. Because he would freak with a sound of a earthquake he didn't fit in school.  He is naturally shy, but he is extremely really smart. Ansel was diagnosed later in life of being hyperactive. People though he might of suffered from dyslexia. He was not good in any school, so his father and aunt tutored  him at home. Later Ansel went to a private school where got a “legitimizing diploma”, witch is like completing eight grade. 
Ansel taught him self to play piano and read music at age twelve. He soon took lessons and became extremely good. Music was like his substitute for formal schooling. From playing music he had improved his visual artistry and his influential writings and teachings on photography. 
In 1927 was when he made his Face of the Half Dome. 
Ansel took photos of the Sierra Nevada mountains and made a book about it. People say he helped create the canyon.
He will literally set up a tent and sleep there until he gets a good picture. 
His nose is not straight  because he was in a earthquake and thrown against a wall

  I chose this picture because I love nature(although all of his photos are of nature). I love mountain photos, they show so much color and texture. Also the trees underneath the mountains give it that forestry feeling. The water fall is what really caught my eye in this photo, it's so pretty and it stands out. The different colors or black and white in the clouds are extremely cool, helps highlight the photo.
