Ansel Adams has always been my favorite photographer. His amazing knack for finding the most fascinating aspects of nature and capturing them at the perfect moment, has always been fascinating to me. I also love the way he can make photos that are black and white, appear more detailed then those that most photographers can do with color. I just thought this page was an interesting insight into the mindset, tendencies, and work ethic of someone who has found ultimate success in his line of work. It is interesting to note that although didn't have the opportunity to experience the world of Digital photography, his son seems to believe that he would have been highly appreciative and involved in the whole idea. He embraced fully the small technological advances that were being made even when he was alive. He was a forward thinker, and it showed through his work and results.

The one aspect I feel the article doesn't discuss is the disparity between digital photography and how Ansel Adams work so strongly relied on darkroom work. Many never get their photos developed with the advent of digital photography.
