Description	Biography Note: Tad Nichols was born in Springfield, Ohio, on July 8, 1911, and lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts until 1930, when, due to his asthma, he went to Mesa Ranch School in Arizona. In addition to academics, his school experiences included camping, hiking, and horseback riding, which helped Nichols develop a great love of the outdoors. In 1937, he graduated from the University of Arizona with a double degree in geology and anthropology. He met Mary Jane Hayden in an astronomy class and married her in 1937. A university photography class inspired Tad's initial interest in taking pictures. He later studied with such noted photographers as Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Brett Weston. He traveled with many scientific expeditions, during which he acted as official photographer. He gained experience as a cameraman during World War II while creating training films for the Air Force. Afterwards, he made films of his own about the Southwest and also produced instructional films for the U.S. Indian Service. During the 1950s, Nichols worked for Walt Disney Productions and the Sierra Club. Tad and Mary Jane traveled extensively throughout the world; of all these places, Glen Canyon was a favorite, where he shot over four thousand images, resulting in a book published by the Museum of New Mexico Press in 2000, entitled, Glen Canyon: Images of a Lost World, Photographs and Recollections.
