Ansel Adams
One with the power of the American landscape, and renowned for the patient skill and timeless beauty of his work, photographer Ansel Adams has been a visionary in his efforts to preserve this country’s wild and scenic areas, both on film and on Earth. Drawn to the beauty of nature’s monuments, he is regarded by environmentalists as a monument himself, and by photographers as a national institution. It is through his foresight and fortitude that so much of America has been saved for future Americans.

Aaron Siskin
Aaron Siskind (December 4, 1903 – February 8, 1991) was an American photographer. He is considered one of the greatest artists in photography, and was closely involved with, if not a part of, the abstract expressionist movement. Early in his career Siskind was a member of the New York photo league, where he produced several significant socially conscious series of images in the 1930s, among them "Harlem Document".Siskind's work focuses on the details of things, presented as flat surfaces to create a new image independent of the original subject, creating sublime works unique to art.
