Ansel Adams is an inspiration for me , he was not only an artist, but he was a political activist, using his photos while lobbying for The Sierra Club. His focus on the unspoiled natural world and the production of his photos are so magnificent.

"Jupiter Terrace-Fountain Geyser Pool", Yellow Stone National Park, Wyoming", photographed by Ansel Adams, an innovative artist who advanced photography into a being accepted as a fine art form. He was dedicated to "pure photography" . His credo was that "Art is the affirmation of life".My definition is that "Art is anything that elicits an emotional response."
