Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
Ansel Adams

I can look at a fine art photograph and sometimes I can hear music.
Ansel Adams
Image
...one sees differently with color photography than black-and-white... in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.
Ansel Adams
Image
It is all very beautiful and magical here - a quality which cannot be described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake into you.
