Gordon Parks' photos made the cover of Life magazine only two times. The first time was in 1948, and the second time in 1968.

I'm not completely positive but I know Edward Steichen, who was a Luxembourgish American photographer, painter, and art gallery and museum curator, was featured on the cover of the January 10th, 1955 cover of 'Life' Magazine and also on the February 14th , 1955 edition as well. During this time Steichen was a very known photography being that he was the man who some people say 'created' fashion photography. He's worked for both Vogue and Time magazine before becoming a WWII Photographer.

NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC.COM has provided the answer: "Alas, the sexy, middle-aged photographer, portrayed by Clint Eastwood in the film that followed the book, is pure fiction. There is not, and never was, a Robert Kincaid here, although some of our photographers have shamelessly encouraged the comparison."(http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/faq.html#ocho)

photography is more than a medium..?

Ansel Adams invented the Zone System.

The Zone System allows the photographer to precisely expose the most important element in his photograph. You use a spot meter and measure every important thing in your image, bearing in mind white, black and gray objects all reflect different amounts of light but the meter thinks they're all gray--because that's what a meter is designed to do. After doing all the math, you dial in an aperture and shutter speed that will allow you to capture the scene as close to how it appears as you possibly can.

This worked for Ansel Adams, and it will work for anyone who's really familiar with relative reflectance and isn't shooting something that moves or changes. You can't shoot a basketball game with the Zone System, for instance, and you can't shoot sunsets because you don't have time to meter them.

Yes

He took up photography to show the Americans the beauty of their natural surroundings.

Poul beckmann is famous for drawing bugs and living jewels. Poul beckmann was born in 1949 in Copenhagen ( Denmark ).

Natural light. The vast majority of Adams' work is landscape photography.

He was in bed, recovering from the removal of cancer from his leg. He died of a heart attack.

i actually work with one of his grandkids at Synder Village nursing home in Metamora Illinois. Although she works in a different building, I still hear things about her. I only found out i work with her because i told my boss i wanted to be a photographer like ansel Adams and she told me about his granddaughter that works in the health center. I work in a different biulding so have never seen her.

1928

Many of his photos are of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Yosemite National Park. His son is a medical doctor in Fresno, Ca and has a lot of his work up in his office. My favorite is the Valley floor covered in snow.

He is famous for defending the Alamo and is also a frontier legend and US Congressman.

Muybridge was one of the first people to photograph motion. He didn't have a camera that could photograph motion (like a movie camera or a video camera) because they didn't exist, so instead he set up a row of cameras, rigged each with a thin wire attached to the shutter release, and sent something like a horse or a running person through the line of cameras. As the subject moved, it broke the wires which fired the cameras.

No

Ansel Adams is known for his use of lighting in his black and white landscape photos.

his message was to show that the world is a beautiful place and we as humans need to preserve this gift for the future generations.
