He selected the 115 photographs that he believed best represented the range of his vision, choosing (as he always did when it was up to him) a wide spectrum of portraits, details, abstracts and occasional quirky subjects, as well as a smattering of his grand landscapes Images was both a great aesthetic and a commercial success, elected as one of the 50 Books of the Year by the American Institute of Graphic Arts and awarded first prize at the World Book Fair in Leipzig, Germany\" (Alinder, 266, 307, 388). To Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Wallace Stegner, who authored the introduction, Adams’ \"mind and vision, his reverence, his delicacy and strength, will have the power to move and enhance and enlarge us as long as walls exist for photographs\" (Miraculous Instants, 51-2). Adams \"elevated the act of photography to a religious experience\" (Stepan, 96).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ansel Adams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58090550591870,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/Images-1923-1974-Ansel-Adams.jpg?v=1790265671","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/products\/images-1923-1974","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
