As a boy, I was drawing all the time, in school and out.” As an art student in Chicago he started to work with a camera, as it was common for art students to photograph inspirational locations as well as their finished work.

Ansel Adams was a man born at just the right time for his skill set. This was a time where America was known for its industrial might. Industry in America was ever expanding and our land was shrinking because of it. We take for granted today the number of national forests that we have. Back during Ansel Adams time there really were none. There was nothing stopping business from destroying all the beauty this land has to offer.

He was truly inspired to start his photography since he was really young, it begins with when his father and him were walking down Fifth Avenue and looking at the store windows he saw a bald man taking picture of a beautiful model posing against a tree. “He lifted his head, adjusted her dress a little bit and took some photographs. Later, I saw the picture in Harper’s Bazaar.

He worked day in and day out, constantly creating beautiful works of art, he never turned his creative switch

While others claim that photography captures the inner soul of a person, or deliberately defines it as painting or writing with light, but in my case, it is just simply a newfound love hobby. I undeniably adore and look up to expert photographers I encounter down the road may it face-to-face or the other way around. In my heart, I silently desire that someday, with hard work, determination, and perseverance, I will become professional and famous as they are. Since my husband bought a Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) as an anniversary gift, my penchant for photography commenced and ignited. Let me detail the essential truths behind my passion over photography.
