Adams was gifted his first camera in early childhood and began snapping nature photos near his home in San Francisco. His love of nature grew as he visited and worked in various national parks. The Grand Tetons and the Snake River, Wyoming captures the frosted peaks of the Tetons as they rise into the sky, beckoning for further exploration. The snake river winding through the valley offers a balancing sense of serenity.
