Excerpted from the link above (emphasis mine):

Dreams with a memory- Minor White remembered

Minor White was one of the most influential, inscrutable, and
interesting photographers of all.

*With Ansel Adams he developed the Zone System*, an engineering methodology
which (in the primitive days of guesswork photography) allowed a
photographer precise control over the appearance of his image.
