 From
1943 to 1944, Ansel Adams made a number
of trips to the Manzanar concentration
camp. His photographs capture
the stark lives of thousands of Japanese
Americans incarcerated during World War
II and remain among the most powerful
photographic records of the camp experience
as seen through the lens of an American
master. Exhibiting at Japanese
American National Museum from November
11th to February 18th, Ansel Adams
at Manzanar includes more than
50 vintage
prints.
Throughout the run of the exhibition,
photographers of all ages and skill levels
are invited to submit a black & white
landscape, portrait, or community life
photograph to be included in this interactive
community display.
