The New Ansel Adams Photography Series - three related volumes
The Camera - Ansel Adams Perhaps surprisingly for an author so committed to large-format work, Adams also deals comprehensively with 35mm and medium-format cameras, as well as light-meters and accessories. He provides a reliable and thorough guide to the equipment and its best use. As with the other two books he emphasises the tools employed, not as ends in themselves, but as means to achieve what the photo-grapher visualises. 1994 Little Brown & Co.

The Portfolios of Ansel Adams Introduction by John Szarkowski From 1948 to 1976 Ansel Adams produced seven portfolios, each a limited edition of from ten to fifteen signed photographic prints. This book reproduces all ninety of these images, including many of Adams' most famous landscape photographs, and less familiar, although remarkable portraits and architectural studies.
