‘ "SOME photographers take reality as the sculptors take wood or stone and upon it impose the domination of their own thought and spirit," said Adams. He himself was more a Michelangelo, looking to liberate a spirit he saw already inherent in the western range. Nevertheless in a sense he created the American West, as Jennings's fascinating introduction makes clear. It's evident from the stunning pictures here that his was ultimately a spiritual quest – and it's not too hard to understand the way he felt.’
