Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams was born in San Francisco on February 20, 1902. He was injured in an earthquake in 1906 which broke his nose. It didn't heal properly, so he had a crooked nose for the rest of his life. Adams was schooled by tutors and family at home because of being taken out of schools for misbehaving. He fell in love with the scenery when he visited Yosemite National Park which served as his inspiration for nature shots. He later got a job with the Sierra Club as a custodian and eventually found his way up to being the assistant manager of it in 1930. The Club was his key to fame and he lasted with the program for over 37 years. Adams wrote an autobiography which was finished not too long before his death on April 22, 1984.
