Bringing out the unexpected in the photographic enthusiast - By: , 30 Jun 1998 
Unlike most books on photography or photographers, this focuses more on the thoughts & relationships of Adams rather than an actual narrative of his life. The result is unexpected enlightenment: the core of the man including his attitudes, politics, & relationships. The reader also finds that he is drawn to focus on his own insights on feelings, attitudes, & creative essence. It is very easy to come a point where one attains the feeling he actually knows Adams although relatively little is actually statedin straight terms about him.
The best choice for an appreciation of Ansel Adams. - By: , 13 May 1997 Ansel Adams was a photographer. Everyone knows that. Here you learn he was also an artist, a concert pianist, & a philosopher/humanitarian.
Although only the images from Chapter 1 were hand-picked by him, the book reflects a warmth that only Ansel could have putin to it.
