Ansel Adams at Manzanar, 1943-1944 Throughout the war, renowned landscape photographer Ansel Adams visited Manzanar four times to document life in camp. His photographs were collected in the book, "Born Free and Equal: Photographs of the Loyal Japanese Americans at Manzanar Relocation Center" (1944). In the foreword, Adams noted: “Moved by the human story unfolding in the encirclement of desert and mountains, and by the wish to identify my photography in some creative way with the tragic moment of the times, I came to Manzanar with my cameras in the fall of 1943.” Ansel Adams Manzanar Photos (MSSU), 2016.wa.0019.
