Ansel Adams post

 

Ansel Adams was born in 1902, in San Francisco, California. He had always been an only child and grew up in an environment pretty conservative, with a supportive en encouraging dad. As he did not fit in school because of his hyperactive nature, he got tutored by his dad and aunt. He finally earned a 8th grade diploma from a private school a few years later. At 12 years old, Adams taught himself to play the piano and this discipline became his new goal in life. Music became his profession, as in 1920 pianist was his full time job. He had always been passionate by nature, and began to take photographs as a kid. His first fully visualized photograph, Monolith, the face of half dome, was created in 1927 and changed Adams' life. It began his carrier as a photograph and ended the one as a pianist. He then wrote some of the most influential books about photography, and became consultant for some big firm like Polaroid.
I chose this picture because the landscape looks so calm, so peaceful thanks to the black and white. The contrast between every little different part of the picture is amazing.

I love this panoramic because it really shows us the immensity of the landscape. We can see the different lines of mountains in the background.

 

The fact that this 360 is turned into a circle picture gives the idea of a total other planet, like if it was something that we could admire in the sky.

Found Faces story

Hi, my name is Frank. You think I look grumpy? Well yeah, I've always been! And don't begin to tell me how to look!
My wife have always been telling me I should smile more, but as you can see, I didn't listen to her. What is the point of smiling, I asked her one day. "Well, people would feel more welcome and as you are the animal shelter's director you might have more clients!" Well well well, I've always had enough clients to make survive all of my family, so let me be myself, I said.
Then this face looked amazing on my last album! Oh didn't I tell you? Some of my friends and I have a heavy metal band, and we have a rather good public. And now that I've been the cover of our album, people call me to tell me how much they love my style.
So all of it to tell you, it's not because some people, even close, tell you that you need to change that you actually have to. Be yourself and be proud!
