Ansel Adams

       Ansel went to several private schools ten his dad pulled him out of school, and he studied exhibits each day until he was sent to Mrs. Kate M Wilkins Private school. Adams was a pianist before he became a photographer, being a pianist taught him to be disciplined and structure from his youth. In 1927, Adams produced his first fully visualized photograph, the Monolith, the Face of Half  Dome. In 1919 Ansel got the Spanish Flu during the flu pandemic. Cedric wright was not only Ansel's best friend but also his  philosophical  and cultural mentor. Adams is 1947 was he guest of honor at the Rencontres d'Arles festival  in France.

I really like this photo because of all of the trees. I like how they are surrounding the pond. I also really like how the trees and the mountains reflect onto the water.  You can see all of the branches on each tree and the mountains almost make it look like it is a little terrarium.
