Ansel Adams made various important contributions
to America. His main accomplishment was the development of the zone
system of developing. With the system he created, it became possible
to have different shades of black, white, and grey. Also, he received
many awards. Some of those awards include the Presidential Medal
of Freedom and the John Muir award. Another interesting fact about
Mr. Adams is that he had the peak of a mountain, Mount Ansel Adams, named
after him in 1895. But, perhaps most importantly, we believe that
he made the photography popular in America. Whenever you go through
the mall and see the stands with calendars, you will almost always find
an Ansel Adams calendar there.
