Editorial Review:
For sixty years, Ansel Adams photographed among the great peaks of Yosemite National Park and the High Sierra range: the "range of light." Inspired by their grandeur, their wildness, and their primeval mystery, he made photographs that were to become the icons of America's national park ethic. His reverence for these placesthe same reverence that fueled his commitment to environmental activismilluminates each image. Yosemite Falls, the brooding majesty of Half Domewe can no longer experience these "holy places" without seeing them through Ansel Adams' eyes.
During his lifetime Adams published seven books of images from this region; this new book brings together in a single volume the finest photographs from this vast body of work. Alive with anecdote and insight, his writings serve as backdrop for the images, and John Szarkowski's introduction provides testimony to the enduring impact of Adams' Yosemite vision.

Rating: - Saint Ansel, Who Art in Heaven, Hallowed Be Thy Name
Ansel Adams is SO, like, awesome!!!
These photographs are simply breathtaking! Ansel Adams had this uncanny knack for taking the beautiful mountains, trees, clouds and waterways of the High Sierras, and making them look beautiful. It's so amazing contemplating an Ansel Adams photograph: How he took something only visually stunning and transforming it into something so visually stunning is simply astounding!
How DID he do that?

I'm glad I bought this book and will enjoy the pictures contained within it for many years.
