Drawing on copious archival research Senf traces the first three decades of Adams's photographic practice beginning with an amateur album made during his childhood and culminating with his Guggenheim - supported National Parks photography of the 1940s. Highlighting the artist's persistence in forging a career path and his remarkable ability to learn from experience as he sharpened his image - making skills this beautifully illustrated volume also looks at the significance of the artist's environmentalism including his involvement with the Sierra Club.
