Of all the camera-wielding luminaries who"ve snapped this eastward view of Yosemite Valley, few can hold a "candela" to Ansel Adams, born this day in 1902. The legendary photographer of Western landscapes was given his first camera here in Yosemite as a boy. The national park was his favorite place in the world, and he returned every year for the rest of his life.
