At One With The Power Of The American Landscape, And Renowned For The Patient Skill And Timeless Beauty Of His Work, Photographer Ansel Adams Has Been Visionary In His Efforts To Preserve This Country's Wild And Scenic Areas, Both In Film And On Earth.

It Is Through His Foresight And Fortitude That So Much Of America Has Been Saved For Future Americans.
