No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.

More quotes by Ansel Adams
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
Ansel Adams
I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.
Ansel Adams
The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.
Ansel Adams
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.
Ansel Adams
Let us leave a splendid legacy for our children...let us turn to them and say, this you inherit: guard it well, for it is far more precious than money...and once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price.
Ansel Adams
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
Ansel Adams
The camera cannot, but the photographer can.
Ansel Adams
Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.
Ansel Adams
I do not think there is any question of photography being an art form!
Ansel Adams
The negative is the score, and the print the performance.
Ansel Adams
Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
Ansel Adams
Now there is a big turnover in the galleries. The top galleries are getting better all the time. A lot of galleries just struggle along, then a new one comes along. There are certainly a great number of galleries. I think this argues well for the art but there are, of course, a lot of phonies in all the arts.
Ansel Adams
You don't make a photograph just with a camera
Ansel Adams
We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion. Many refuse to admit it: I feel a mystery exists. There are certain times, when, as on the whisper of the wind, there comes a clear and quiet realization that there is indeed a presence in the world, a nonhuman entity that is not necessarily inhuman.
Ansel Adams
We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion.
Ansel Adams
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
Ansel Adams
To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.
Ansel Adams
The [35mm] camera is for life and for people, the swift and intense moments of life.
Ansel Adams
I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence.
Ansel Adams
There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.
