Ansel Easton Adams was born in February 20, 1902 in San Francisco California. He died April 22, 1984 at the age of 82 in Monterey California because of a heart attack. He took black and white outdoor photos with an older style of photography for taking pictures. His style was Pure Photography, meaningit possesed no qualitiesof technique idea or composition,derivative of any other art form. Something I'd found interesting was that in 1933 he opened his own art and photography gallery. He also published essasy in magazines and wrote an instructional photography book in 1935.
