This opinion piece is written with some very careful thought about Ansel Adams that I've had in my mind for a long time now. He's a celebrated photographer, and he indeed took a lot of photos during his time.

But what really made him famous more than anything else could perhaps be his prints and the development process that came about it all. He's one of the creators of the Zone system, and that translated into the work he conducted in the darkroom. But think carefully: what makes his work so much different than that of someone else who specialized in laboratory work? Surely, anyone could have shot these same photos, right? But not everyone could have developed the images to be the same thing--which further means that without this process that he created in the darkroom, his images wouldn't have been anything special. . thephoblographer.com
