A precocious child born in San Francisco in February 1902, he broke his nose in the 1906 earthquake. He decided to become a concert pianist in 1925 but changed his mind after meeting Paul Strand. Four years after he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom he died, and a mountain was named for him at the site that had been the subject of his best-known works. He had started visiting that place in 1916 and had returned every year of his life, showing clearly the changes of hour and season. His photographs were crisp and often emphasized contrast in black and white. For ten points name this photographer of Yosemite National Park.
