Weston went to Cornish School in Seattle to graduate with a degree in Theater Arts. Cole had served in the World War II as a photographer, where he probably learned a lot of things

In 1916 Ansel Adams was a photographer who used his work to promote conservation of the wild around the area. He took a trip to Yosemite National Park where he saw more than what lay in the national park, when he looked through the lense he was fascinated.

1. I agree with Ansel Adams. There is so much more to photography then clicking a button. Photography is ideas and creativity through a photo. If I have an idea in my head or a message I want to send across I have to set it up before I even take the picture. There are also many different settings on the camera that help set up a good photo.

This is where he learned to appreciate nature, and it inspired him to use nature as his scenes for his photographs. He is known for preserving wilderness.

Preservation for other open places and spaces worthy of protection continued in the early 20th century. Herbert Gleason, Ansel Adams, and other photographers were hired by the government to assess and photograph potential places for inclusion in the national park system as part of the back-to-nature movement to preserve wilderness and conservation of natural resources (see Cahn & Ketchum, 1981; Dilsaver & Tweed, 2009; Nicholas, Bapis, & Harvey, 2003).
