He hoped that these images might inspire tourists to become activists by transmitting to them the same awe and respect for nature that Yosemite had instilled in him. Over the following decades, Adams added to this collection to create a stunning view of Yosemite in all its majesty.\u003cbr\u003eThese photographs, the Yosemite Special Edition Prints, form the core of this essential volume.
