Ansel was antsy. He never walked--he ran. When he sat, his feet danced. Even his thoughts flew about like a gull in a storm. Ansel noticed everything. And everyone noticed Ansel. "Pay attention," said his aunt. "Please sit still," begged his mother. "Why don't you go outside?" suggested his father.

It was love at first sight. Excerpted from Antsy Ansel: Ansel Adams, a Life in Nature by Cindy Jenson-Elliott All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
