Shamelessly borrowed from Wikipedia:
Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and conservationist. His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books.
“Once destroyed, nature’s beauty cannot be repurchased at any price.” – Ansel Adams
