Ansel's family lost most of their money in 1907 with financial problems. Throughout school Adams struggled vigerously but learned to play the piano and made a job out of it for 12 years. In his convertion over to photography from the piano, Ansel used the Kodak No. 1 Box Brownie in the above image to take many vast and beautiful photos like the one in the image below. Ansel Adams traveled to Yosemite Sierra region to spend a great deal of time every year until his death in California on April 22, 1984 at the age of 82. Adams' cause of death was heart failiure.
