He grew up on a farm in Denver. He helped found the group F/64 with a man named Weston. Also who helped found the group was Ansel Adams, John Paul Edwards, Imogen Ciningham, Sonra Noskowiak and Henry Swift. This group believed in sharp-focus, "straight photography".
His techniques involved a lot of dodging to make certain objects stand out. Such as the one rock in the photo above.
For what it's worth - the image of the rocks is by Ansel Adams.
