Book research

I researched 20 books in my school library and listed the title, date published, published by, the artist, and theme of the pictures. The point of this is to find one photographer that I really want to focus on. After looking at all of the 20 books listed below, I am almost positive I would like to research into Ansel Adams. Even though we have already taken pictures in his photography style, I still enjoy and relate to his the most.
