Tableaux's in which the audience was invited to reconstruct the narrative through interpretation and forensic analysis.
In 1969 while still a grad student he participated in the first ‘Soft Art’ Exhibitions at The New Jersey State Museum, along with Richard Serra.

In 1974 his first ‘Mystery' series was shown at the legendary 112 Green Street Gallery in Soho, N.Y. In 1976 he began showing with the John Gibson Gallery, where he became part of a movement known as Narrative Art.
Adams was associated with a group of Conceptual artists who used fictional text and photographs.
He separated himself from these artists by not using any text, instead he adopted a more semiotic approach to the narrative in which the photograph became a surrogate for text.
The 'Mystery' series had a film Noir quality and an extreme narrative compression.
Throughout his career, Adams recognized that the space between the images can be as important as the image itself.
He has come to use the term 'Narrative Void'( a term used in film when speaking of the space between frames) to describe the meaning in the space between images.
