One of my favorite Ansel Adams posters is his famous image of Yosemites Halfdome, with a daytime moon behind it. What a beautiful image one of our greatest national treasures. This Ansel Adams poster always fills me with a sense of awe and wonder and never fails to take me back to the wonderful memories of when I used a backpack in this amazing land. Ansel Adams was particularly fond of Yosemite, and devoted a great deal of his lifes work to capturing the majesty of this area. Because of this, many Ansel Adams posters are depictions of different scenic aspects of Yosemite. They are without question my favorite photos of the park, and yet even this voluminous collection still cant even begin to tell of the beautiful majesty that the park holds. Having said that, have a number of Yosemite images around me can at times fill me with the same sense of peace and serenity that I get when I am actually in the famous national park. What a wonderful escape, if only in my mind, from the everyday life of the big city. While there is of course a certain beauty to cities as well, the bustling, noisy, and chaotic character to them is well balanced with some Ansel Adams posters. It is a natural panacea. Of course, Ansel Adams entire lifes work wasnt encapsulated in Yosemite National Park. Another one of my favorite Ansel Adams posters is a print of his Tetons and Snake river photograph. Again the subject matter is the American West and I must say that the Grand Tetons are one of the most striking mountain ranges in the country, and this image captures their beauty very well. I had the fortune of visiting them once and each time I look at the Ansel Adams poster I am reminded of their imposing nature and statuesque virtue. Ansel Adams images have become quite a rage in the last few years, and Ive seen a rise in popularity in Ansel Adams posters as well. It doesnt surprise me really, but actually I take that back, it does surprise me. It surprises me that it has taken this long for his work to celebrated. The mans work are not only great and inspiring images to have around the home, but theyre also very trendy. And many times trendy items tend to have great value. The kinds of images portrayed in an Ansel Adams poster are completely classic as well, a black and white image of mountains, lakes, trees, beaches, or other natural scenes will never be out of style. Beauty never is. |
