The last image I posted on my blog was also by Ansel Adams. I have been looking at alot of his images lately and his are some of my favorite work. I like his landscape images better than his portraits but I still think his portraits are really interesting and they capture the emotion of the subject really well. I was reading about this image and it said that he shot many of his portraits at Manzanar war relocation center. This was during World War II and he spent his own time and money visiting the relocation center capturing the emotions of the people there.
