Ansel Adams worked most notably in black and white film. He was a environmentalist, technical innovator, and teacher, besides being a photographer. Ansel Adams attended many schools and had to switch either because he was kicked out or flunked. Eventually his father and aunt home schooled him to the point where he got equal to an 8th grade education the Mrs. Kate M Wilkins private school. He then picked up piano. His first fully visualized photograph, monolith, the Face of Half Dome was created in 1927.

According the Michael, his father thought the world of Stieglitz prestigious gallery in 1936 was probably the thing he was most proudest of, even more than all of his later significant achievements and accomplishments.

Many of his negatives are duplicate images of which he’d select the best image to use for printing. - See more at: http://thomashawk.com/2008/05/10-interesting-things-i-learned-about.html#sthash.Zg9UHQ1T.dpuf
