Label copy created for The Modern Photographer: Observation and Intention, Selections from the Permanent Collection (2010-2011)
This image renders, in pristine splendor, the famous High Sierra Mountains Adams photographed many times over his long career. The monumental scale of El Capitan, rising from the winter andscape, intensifies the drama and grandeur of nature. Every element within the frame is sharply focused. The achievement of such technically flawless images was a major objective of the California photography group f.64, of which Adams was a founding member.
