Customer Reviews

American Photography at its Best5
Breathtaking photos. Especially in light of the rudimentary equipment available at the time they were taken. Proves that Ansel Adams is still unsurpassed in American photography. Captures the majesty and beauty of the vanishing American wilderness. Members of Congress should view this work before voting to open refuge or wild lands to drilling and logging.

Poor quality3
Poor reproduction quality. Actually no quality. As educational book, to study composition or something like that, perhaps the book serves.

Not Worth Looking At1
Poor reproduction quality. Actually no quality. Not approved by the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust.
