In 1916, when he was 14, Ansel Adams visited Yosemite National Park with his family. He wrote in his diary: “The splendor of Yosemite burst upon us and it was glorious … One wonder after another descended upon us … There was light everywhere … A new era began for me.” During the trip, Ansel’s father gave him a Kodak Box Brownie camera. Destiny! By the 1940s, Adams was America’s most celebrated photographer, known for his virtuosic black-and-white shots of the country’s most majestic landscapes. In this exhibition, 80 prints are on view, all of which traveled from the Center for Creative Photography, in Tucson. —Elena Clavarino
