Ansel Adams Says….

“Ask yourself: Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream?”
“A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into.”
“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
“Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.”
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
“There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.”
“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”
“A good photograph is knowing where to stand.”
“I believe there is nothing more disturbing than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept!”
“There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.”
“Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer – and often the supreme disappointment.”
“It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.”
