Ansel Adams was hired by the US government to document the Manzanar Relocation Center. Therefore, all his work for this project is public domain.
Though the relocation center is a blot on America's history, Ansel made some wonderful images which the Library of Congress has scanned and made available for download.
Along with the scans of his original prints, they also scanned his negatives, which offers us a wonderful opportunity to walk in the master's footsteps.

You can access more information and smaller scans and even see scans of his original print (no cheating) here.
Show us your reinterpretation here in this thread when you're finished.
