		According to his friend James Alinder, “The spiritual importance of the mountains to Ansel’s evolving understanding of his photography, his environmental ethic, and his personality cannot be overstated...” Amid the “high altars,” as he called the peaks, decked with towering thunderheads, glistening lakes, and raging waterfalls, Adams found the Infinite.
		Biographer Jonathan Spaulding states “When Ansel Adams read Carpenter among the granite peaks of the Sierra Nevada, it was the perfect combination of a time and a place, a set of ideas and a receptive mind.
		He defined it as “a framework for understanding exposure and development, and visualizing their effect in advance.” Adams called negatives “the score” and prints “the performance.” He altered the ‘straight reality’ of his negatives by intensifying or subduing the dramatic play of light and shadow in his prints, thereby attaining his vision of a scene.
