Ansel Easton Adams

In 1927 Adams published his first portfolio, Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras.
His first book, Taos Pueblo, was published in 1930.
In 1933 the Delphic Gallery gave Adams his first New York show. His first series of technical articles was published in Camera Craft in 1934, and his first widely distributed book, Making a Photograph, appeared in 1935. He published eight portfolios of original photographic prints (1927, 1948, 1950, 1960, 1963, 1970, 1974, 1976).
