Ansel Adams was a master at capturing not just the big dramatic landscapes, but also the tiniest magical details deep in the woods or at the side of a road.

I made this image six months before Ansel hired me, during one of my early workshop-assisting gigs for the Ansel Adams Gallery (this one with Al Weber and Oliver Gagliani). One afternoon just after the workshop I came across these perfect frosted leaves against some rimed meadow grasses and was struck by their fragile beauty against the harsh reality of nature.
