From the day that a 14-year-old Ansel Adams first saw the transcendent beauty of the Yosemite Valley, his life was, in his words, "colored and modulated by the great earth-gesture of the Sierra." Adams helped transform the meaning of wilderness in America; his greatest images of the American West changed forever what Americans thought about their own land. Nature and wilderness photographer Michael Frye describes following in Adams' footsteps, working in Yosemite. http://www.pbs.org/amex/ansel Voices: William Turnage, Ansel Adams Trust Michael Frye, photographer, The Ansel Adams Gallery Andrea Gray Stillman, Editor & Assistant to Ansel Adams Miles Neff, podcast narration Produced by: Ravi Jain Director of New Media: Maria Daniels American Experience is produced by WGBH Boston.
