Adams was the son of a very wealthy business man. adams was sent to mostly private schools, however despite this he was moslty self taught. Eventually, Adam's personality caught up with him, and he became the class.... circus. Much more than a clown, Adams brought histericall laughter to his peers, as well as constantly mocking most of his teachers. Adam's father seemed almost to understand how his son felt, and pulled him to home schooling. One of the major focuses of hi schooling at home, was the piano. HE became an amazing pianist, which was thought by many to be his career. Later, Ansel began to visit many museums in San Francisco, and fell in love with a new kind of art. Not photography, but simply art which developed into a love of photography when he visited the Pnama- Pacific International Exposition. The place wasfull of photography that inspired ansel. His first camera was a box brownie, a gift from his parents when they traveled to Yosemite Nsational Park, which was where his photo career began. Ansel Adams married Virginia Best in January 1929, which was the first time he second guessed his career. He could no longer decide between music and photographs. He began to look at more works, and finally fell in love with photo again. aren't we glad!I love the pictures above and if i wre to ever get to choose my own final project, that doeesnt have a theme that i must follow until death do i part, it would be landscapes.
