Before attending privet school Ansel was tutored by his father and aunt. Before Ansel was a photographer he was a musician. In 1927 he made his first visualized photograph, Monolith, the Face of Half Dome. When Ansel was born his mother was nearly forty. When he was four he broke his nose from an after shock of the 1906 earthquake. When he was twelve he taught himself to read music and play the piano. I chose this picture because I like how the shadows contrast with the water.
