I am always surprised when I realise I have had close associations for more than sixty years with the great expressions of Nature that our country affords. I have observed both very good and very bad happenings in our Natural Scene; many wise and foolish decisions, devotions and exploitations. But, on the whole, we are progressing!
– Ansel Adams in a letter to President Jimmy Carter in 1979
