Ansel Adams is one of those artists, at least for me, that you need to be a little older to truly appreciate. When I was a kid, my family and I used to go camping every year in Yosemite.
I’ve learned something over the years as a photographer—not just as someone who clicks a shutter but seeing the world that extends beyond my camera. It’s a subtle skill that has nothing to do with gear or technique and/or or perfect symmetry. Sure, composition, light, and timing matter.
