In this bestselling autobiography, completed shortly before his death in 1984, Ansel Adams looks back at his legendary six-decade career as a conservationist, teacher, musician, and, above all, photographer.

Written with characteristic warmth, vigour, and wit, this fascinating account brings to life the infectious enthusiasms, fervent battles, and bountiful friendships of a truly American original.

Reviews

No lover of Ansel Adam s' photographs can afford to miss this book.

Rough-edged...witty and candid...A direct line to Adam s' thoughts and ideas.
NEW YORKER
A warm, discursive, and salty document.
