Description

Jack Adamson was New Zealand's first-born mountain guide and an exceptional photographer of the late 1800's who left a legacy of priceless photos of early explorers, pioneers and alpine scenery from 1889 to 1897. The images reflect Jack's spirit of adventure, his passion for the mountains and his unerring ability - with the composition and use of light - as an artist to obtain some of the most impressive photographs of the environment and people. Jack's story is part of New Zealand pioneering history that will touch your heart. It is a story with SPIRIT.
