Ansel Adams once said, "Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter."

This quote belies the fact that Adams hiked in the wilderness for days in search of scenery and labored in the darkroom day and night to yield "a good crop" of about one dozen significant images a year.

Many of his most beloved photographs of Yosemite, dating from the 1920s and 1930s, appear in the travelling exhibition “Ansel Adams: Early Works,” on view through May 1 at the Art League of Bonita Springs, in Florida. The show is organized by the Art2Art circulating exhibition service.
