Barn, Cape Cod, Massachusetts c. 1937 - 1981

Ansel Adams' "Barn, Cape Cod, Massachusetts" is a striking black and white photograph from the late 1930s. Capturing the simplicity of rural New England, the image showcases a classic barn with its weathered wooden siding and large double doors, contrasted against a crisp white picket fence. The composition emphasizes the architectural form and natural light, a signature element of Adams' work, known as "straight photography." The photo is a testament to Adams' keen eye for detail and his ability to evoke a sense of timelessness in his subjects.
