Ansel Adams was born in the great city of San Francisco, California February 20th 1902. Growing up Ansel had little so no success for learning in normal public schools. They believe that he may have suffered from dyslexia. Since Ansel was having such a hard time learning at public schools his father and aunt tried tutoring him at home. They then decided that having him go to a private school would help him much more. Prior to being a photography Ansel's primary occupation was going to be playing the piano. Later on he then gave up playing piano to be a photographer. Ansel's first photographs were on the bulletin board of the sierra club in 1922. |
