Happy birthday, Ansel Adams!🎈 Did you know Adams was part of a conversation in 1932 that changed the history of photography? At a party in Oakland in 1932, several now-iconic Bay Area figures — including Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and Edward Weston — banded together to form Group f.64, a collective dedicated to “true” photography and the rejection of the prevailing style of Pictorialism, which mimicked painting. Adams took photographs that not only documented nature’s beauty but also helped preserve it for future generations. He was a passionate environmentalist, using his images to advocate for the protection of national parks and wild spaces. Today, on his birthday, we celebrate his legacy in both photography and environmental advocacy.
