Earlier this week, I went to see the Ansel Adams exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Ansel Adams was born in 1902 and was a pioneer American photographer and environmentalist famous for his black-and-white landscape photographs. He particularly liked to photograph the coast and wilderness scenes and took a lot of photos in the American national parks. He was also one of the pioneers of deep-focus photography by which all areas of the photograph were in sharp focus. Adams died in April 1984 aged 82.

A very interesting exhibition. Some of his pictures have an ‘oil painting’ effect and you have to look twice to check that they are actually photographs. The pictures, particularly those of the California coast reminded me of my visits there.
