Description Ansel Adams American, 1902-1984 Winter Forest Detail, Yosemite Valley Gelatin silver print, about 1949 printed 1971 Harold Boeschenstein, Jr. Fund, 1971.175 In his autobiography, Ansel Adams wrote: The camera makes an image-record of the object before it. It records the subject in terms of the optical properties of the lens, and the chemical and physical properties of the negative and print. The control of that record lies in the selection by the photographer and in his understanding of the photographic process at is command. The photographer visualizes his conception of the subject as presented in the final print. He achieves the expression of his visualization through his technique - aesthetic, intellectual, and mechanical.
