I felt I had accomplished something...I had achieved my first visualization! I had been able to realize a desired image: not the way the subject appeared in reality but how it felt to me and how it must appear in the finished print.

Adams first recorded Half Dome at the age of 14 with his Kodak Box Brownie. He took this magnificent photograph only eleven years later, in April 1927, having embarked on a challenging 4,000 foot climb through heavy snow. As Monolith engendered Adams' first 'visualization', he judged it to be 'one of the most exciting moments of my photographic career.'
