Correct!
Eastman died by his own hand on March 14, 1932 at the age of 77 after writing a suicide note--"My work is done. Why wait?"--and shoots himself.
The trivia is of Photographers and Photography... |

He had 4 sons.
Brett and Cole became photographers.
Edward's grandson, Kim, is also a photographer. |

Two of Ansel Adam's iconic images of the American West, perhaps his two most-recognized images, feature the moon prominently, in the image and in the title. Can you name the images?

I was going to say "moon over my-hammy" but then I realized that was from the Denny's menu, then I looked it up so it wouldn't be fair to answer.
