Quote by Ansel Adams (01)

More about the photographer
Ansel Adams was born in the Western Addition of San Francisco, California. He was an American photographer and environmentalist (1902 - 1984). His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters and in books.

With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs. Adams primarily used large-format cameras because their high resolution helped ensure sharpness in his images.

Adams founded the photography Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Willard Van Dyke and Edward Weston. In 1921, Ansel Adams produced his first photograph. In 1927, Adams produced his first portfolio, Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras, in his new style, which included his famous image Monolith, the Face of Half Dome, taken with his Korona view camera using glass plates and a dark red filter.

Adams received a Doctorate of Arts from both Harvard and Yale universities. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1966. He was awarded with various awards and was inducted into the California Hall of Fame by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver in 2007.

Quote: It's Never Too Late To ..........

 I saw this nice quote while I was cleaning up my computer. Would like to share it with you. I had immediately a connection with it while reading the text below. I still have wishes to do certain things in my life or things I would like to change in my personal life. Maybe you recognize this too? :-) 

I wished, when I was younger that I had travelled more. Unfortunately I did not travel that much in the way I preferred. So this is my wish for the coming years: to travel more and explore more interesting places worldwide. I will take my camera then with me so I can make beautiful photos of these places as a memory. Another personal wish for me is to loose some extra kilos. :-)  

What are your wishes to become the person you've always wanted to be? Maybe you are already satisfied the way your life is now. Have a great new week ahead! Just enjoy life ........
