 Trees June 15, 2007
Photographs show great composition. From a stand of pines to a stark leafless oak these photos preserve the visage of trees in every form and season.
 Ansel Adams: Trees by Ansel Adams January 3, 2007
Wonderful book. It again shows the art and skill of Mr. Adam's talent. This book is a great addition to all that enjoy trees, photography, landscapes, and beauty. Worth every cent!

I really, really don't understand how a person can see so much out of so little. There's a tree right outside my window. It looks like a tree, seen one seen all of them. But Ansel Adams didn't just see a tree.
Sure he saw a tree. But he also saw its shape, the texture of its bark, it's setting, perhaps the brook flowing by, or the mist or the clouds, maybe the mountain in the background. And the timing. This picture has the sun directly behind the trunk of the tree so it's almost just an outline. That picture was taken at dawn so the light would be just so, and the mist not quite gone. This grove of trees are all tall and straight, that single Jeffrey Pine growing out of the rocks in Yosemite is twisted and deformed by the wind.
You know what to expect of an Ansel Adams book. Black and White photographs carefully selected, merged with insightful text, printed (in Germany) with impeccable quality -- What more can I say.
