Celebrating the photographer whose black-and-white views of Yosemite and the American West became defining images of the medium, this film follows his development as an artist and his parallel life as a conservationist. It shows how his command of light and landscape taught people to see wilderness as art. The portrait links the aesthetic achievement to the advocacy, treating the two as inseparable parts of one career.
