Ansel Adams

Personal Connection

When I have children someday, I want to be able to let them remember their childhoods by lookind back at photographs (although I'm sure there will be new, extremely advanced technologies than those that we use today)

I hope to become a much better photographer so that I can capture great moments of my adolescence

pictures bring me back to my happy childhood memories that I really cherish and hold close

Childhood Aspect

memories, captured on film

feelings of naiveness, carelessness

Reminds me of my childhood at the beach

Sense of motion yet is so tranquil and calm
