Yosemite has been used by photographers for decades and one of the most famous and one of my favorite of these photographers is Ansel Adams. Born in 1902 Adams grew up with a love of nature and photographed nature for much of his life. However adams did not always have the financial means to fund his photography "Recognition, however, did not alleviate Adams's financial pressures. In a letter dated 6 August 1935 he wrote Weston, "I have been busy, but broke. Can't seem to climb over the financial fence." Adams was compelled to spend much of his time as a commercial photographer. Clients ran the gamut, including the Yosemite concessionaire, the National Park Service, Kodak, Zeiss, IBM, AT&T, a small women's college, a dried fruit company, and Life, Fortune, and Arizona Highways magazines — in short, everything from portraits to catalogues to Coloramas" http://www.anseladams.com/anseladams_biography_s/51.html''
I really like Adam's photography their all just so interesting. I am extremely in love with his Yosemite Photography. I love the details, different angles and depths within the picture. Very nice over view about Adams.
