On this date in 1941, American photographer, Ansel Easton Adams (1902-1984), photographed a moonrise over the town of Hernandez, New Mexico. It would become one of the most famous images of his 1940s period. The American landscape photographer and environmentalist is known for his black-and-white images of the American West. Adams had a life-long passion in photography since being gifted with his first camera at age 12 while visiting Yosemite National Park. He developed his early photographic work as a member of the Sierra Club and was equally famous for his rich Yosemite and Grand Teton photographs.
