2. Info about Ansel
 Adams, Ansel (Feb. 20 1902 — Apr. 22, 1984), photographer and
environmentalist, was born in San Francisco, California, the son of Charles
Hitchcock Adams, a businessman, and Olive Bray. Aftershock of the great
earthquake and fire of 1906 threw him to the ground and badly broke his
nose, distinctly marking him for life. An only child, Adams was born when
his mother was nearly forty. His relatively elderly parents, affluent family
history, and the live-in presence of his mother’s maiden sister and aged
father all combined to create an environment that was decidedly
Victorian and both socially and emotionally conservative.

3. Impact
 Ansel Adams was a visionary figure in nature photography and wilderness
preservation. He is seen as an environmental folk hero and a symbol of the
American West, especially of Yosemite National Park. Adams' dedication
to wilderness preservation, his commitment to the Sierra Club, and of
course, his signature black-and-white photographs inspire an appreciation
for natural beauty and a strong conservation ethic.

4. Homage
 I chose this person because, I really love his photos, nature is one of my
favorite photography I love to take. I love going into woods and taking a
lot of pictures, it’s really calming and enjoyable. After I take many photos I
love editing them and making them look admirable.
