Docent Jim Kohn will discuss the more than 100 works on exhibit in San Francisco’s de Young Museum by photographer and environmentalist Ansel Adams.

The exhibit, which runs from April 8 through July 23, features some of the most-loved photographs by Adams, including images of Yosemite, San Francisco, and the American Southwest.

In the exhibit, Adams’s works are shown alongside prints by 19th-century landscape photographers, such as Carleton Watkins and Eadweard Muybridge, as well contemporary artists like Trevor Paglen, Will Wilson, and Catherine Opie.
