Well, maybe Weston. It is an inaccurate assertion in the first place, and simply ignorance of the life experiences outside of Europe which has no primeval (old-growth) forest or vast tracts of wilderness to make such a ludicrous claim. Adams used his photography for the benefit of conservation and wilderness protection. The James Watt school of ecological eschatology might claim there is not future use for such, but many of us find in Adams' work a ring of truth from our own life experiences.
