'On a bright spring day in Yosemite in 1927 I made a photograph that was to change my understanding of the medium... Monolith has lived a charmed life. It survived a darkroom fire...it rests in my vault, still printable, and represents a personally historic moment in my photographic career.' (Ansel Adams, An Autobiography)
