Although many of Adams's images are now iconic, his early work has remained largely unknown. In this first monograph dedicated to the beginnings of Adams's career, Rebecca A. Senf argues that these early photographs are crucial to understanding Adams's artistic development and offer new insights into many aspects of the artist's mature oeuvre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on copious archival research, Senf traces the first three decades of Adams's photographic practice--beginning with an amateur album made during his childhood and culminating with his Guggenheim-supported National Parks photography of the 1940s. Highlighting the artist's persistence in forging a career path and his remarkable ability to learn from experience as he sharpened his image-making skills, this beautifully illustrated volume also looks at the significance of the artist's environmentalism, including his involvement with the Sierra Club. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca A.
