Adams, as a founder of "Group f/64" with Edward Weston, became an advocate and practitioner of "straight" photography. Nevertheless, his pictures at times achieve the character of abstract paintings. The enlarged wood-grains of "Detail of Old Wooden Cross' are the strokes of the painter's brush. The suppression of the background of "Rain Forest Kileuea" into middle grays sets off the few black tree trunks in the foreground and gives the jungle a surrealistic quality reminiscent of the paintings of Rousseau...

But stunning as were these effects, they seemed to be employed as things-in-themselves rather than as elements in an over-all interpretation. Too much for instance, was made of Beethoven's strategic pauses, which though pregnant with meaning can easily turn barren when pushed out of shape...
