Ansel Adams struggled in various different schools, as a result he was eventually tutored by his father and aunt. Eventually he earned a legitimate diploma from Mrs. Kate M. Wilkins private School that was equal to completing the eighth grade. At the age of four he wound up in the middle of an aftershock earthquake after the great fire and earthquake of 1906 in San Francisco. It threw him to the ground, permanently scaring his nose. In 1907 his family fortune collapsed. But he always found solitude outside in nature. Photography was not the only thing he had a passion for, his first desired occupation was to be musician. He spent most of his childhood playing the piano, practicing the discipline it took. In 1927, Adams made his first visualized photograph of Monolith, the Face of the Half Dome. It was one of his most famous photograph.
I love this black and white shot because it has a really dark cloud of water that blocks out the sun, making everything seem darker. It's like black cloud surrounded by different grays and it goes to together very well.
