Ansel Adams is an almost mythic figure in the world of black-and white photography and wilderness preservation. He was involved with the Sierra Club for more than 50 years and played a seminal role it its evolution. The meaning and legacy of his life work were recently explored by documentary producer Ric Burns in "Ansel Adams: a Documentary Film," which was broadcast on WGBH's American Experience series.
