 American Experience | Ansel Adams | Transcript
Ansel's landscapes -- more surely more than any of the great 19th century photographers who worked over much of the same territory, are much less about sculpture, they're less about geology, they're less about permanence, they're less about the solidity of the rocks, than about the ephemeral nature of the rocks.
And Ansel's life occupied almost exactly a century in which Americans debated that question, and, at the end of the century, came to Ansel's answer -- which was that, while the frontier as a statistically measured artifact of the Census Bureau, might have ended, wildness did not end with the frontier.
And Ansel, in his own wild way, I think, was one of the crucial voices or, I suppose, images in Ansel's case, in saying to the American people, "We had this opportunity." If you look at Ansel's pictures from the 1920s and the 1930s, you wouldn't know that the frontier had closed.

 ANSEL ADAMS: Classic Images - Photography and History Lesson Plans
Ansel Adams made several trips from Yosemite to the Manzanar Relocation Camp in the Owens Valley of eastern California to photograph Japanese-Americans who were interred during World War II.
Ansel Adams compares his approach in photographing the situation to that of Dorothea Lange.
Ansel Adams arrived at Manzanar several years later, "when the relocation camps had been made more livable and functional by the efforts of the inhabitants themselves." He observed their accomplishments in the building of a Japanese garden, farms, schools, churches (Buddhist, Christian, and Shinto), a playground, and small industries.
