Ansel Adams Photographs of Manzanar

The photograph exhibition of photographer and Ansel Adams(1902-1984) is holding it in the Honolulu museum.

The theme is Manzanar. Manzanar is a name of the place where the Japanese person is accommodated in World War II.

At that time, when being visit four times by July from October to 1944 1943, and taking a picture, it is a photograph as for this ground where about 10,000 Japanese people are accommodated. No location of air to accept it in the United States at that time anywhere though he puts out photograph collection of "Born Free and Equal" in 1944 at that time so that may appeal for freedom and equality with these photographs by him

The work will be contributed to the National Diet Library in 20 years or more in 1968, and it is possible to see through the Internet now.

Such a photograph was neatly put as a record though Ann cell Adams was famous the monochrome photograph in the yosemite valley.

It is a precious opportunity that closely sees his original print.
