[Leica] Ansel Adams

[Oliver Bryk <obryk@flash.netdex.com>]

FWIW and AIUI many of Ansel Adams's photographs served a bona fide
political purpose, i.e., to further the conservation and protection of
wild places, expand the system of National Parks, and the like. IMHO
such images might well follow in the pictorial tradition of the great
landscape painters and early photographers of the American West whose
work did much to raise public awareness and establish national parks.
