"A detailed summation by Ansel Adams of a lifetime in photography. With the passage of time, many films and much of the equipment discussed in the text have been replaced by a new generation of materials and equpment with different characteristics and capabilities. Yet the concepts and imaginative techniques and procedures described by Ansel in THE CAMERA generally remain as valid and useful as they were when he first began to write about them decades ago. The most important lesson to be gleaned from Ansel's writing is an approach to photogaphy - a philosophy, a methodology.
