Of Rocks & Trees

Ansel Adams was once criticized for "photographing rocks while the world was falling apart". Some photographers at the time felt the media was best used to bring attention to social injustice and other political issues. Perhaps in response, it is said that Ansel once quipped "I photograph rocks because they stand still". Ultimately his work strongly influenced the creation of the national park system and advanced the cause of preservation and public access of some of the country's greatest natural treasures.
