This document discusses Samantha Pakula's master photography project that was influenced by Ansel Adams. It summarizes that Adams became fully dedicated to photography in the 1930s and preferred black and white images, though he experimented with color. Pakula's project consists of 10 landscape photographs taken in black and white, in the style of Adams, who helped establish photography as an art form on par with painting and music.
