David Paul Bayles and Ansel Adams

Although these photographers both photograph places these images are very different. Adams photos (most of them) are of beautiful mountains that all seem to flow together as if they are in the same design category. Bayles photos are of unique trees that are very different. The first time I looked at Bayles work I felt as if they did not flow together. When I went back through them I discovered that they actually did. He finds a tree in a random location and creates a beautiful photograph because he is passioniot about the subject. This is not that different from Ansel Adams. He finds a beautiful location and creates a unique photograph also telling a story about the subject. The thing that these photographers share is the passion of not only photography but the story that they are telling.

  1. That is so true. Their photographs tell us something. They are not only beautiful photographs. I think that is what makes them so unique. When we read about Bayles we can understand more why he is passionate about photographing trees.

  2. It is nice to hear from the artist why they choose their subjects.
