History the stamps represent: Before becoming one of the world’s most famous photographers, Ansel Adams trained to become a classical pianist. Adams credited his musical training with giving him the patience and discipline to create the breathtaking photos he did.
After hearing a neighbor play the piano when he was 12, Adams taught himself to play and read music. His natural talent was evident and he was taken on by three teachers over the next decade. These teachers helped hone his talent and instilled in him discipline, accuracy, structure, and persistence.
Adams trained to be a concert pianist for most of the year and spent his summers in Yosemite hiking, camping, and taking photos. He also gave piano lessons to earn money to buy a grand piano. Judges said he was a gifted pianist, however he struggled in accompaniments, so he shifted his focus to photography.
Adams said he could hear music while taking photos – “You see relationships of shapes. I would call it a design sense. It’s the beginning of seeing what the photograph is.” He also compared the two, saying, “The piano has 88 keys, and you have to be able to play all of them. And the range of white to black is analogous to the 88 keys and you have to be able to play all 88 keys in that palette from white to black.”
