ANSEL ADAMS
Ansel Adams (1902-1984) was born in San Francisco four years before the great earthquake of 1906. In 1927, Adams participated in the Club's annual outing, known as the High Trip. The next year he became the Club's official trip photographer. In 1930 he became assistant manager of the outings. In 1934, Adams was elected as a member of the Board of Directors of the Sierra Club, maintained for 37. Adam's professional breakthrough followed the publication of his first portfolio, Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras. Adams' first cause was the protection of the wilderness areas, including Yosemite. After the internment of Japanese people during World War 2, Adams photographed life in the camps for a photo essay on wartime injustice.
