More quotes by Ansel Adams
My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.

Ansel Adams
A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.
Ansel Adams
I usually have an immediate recognition of the potential image, and I have found that too much concern about matters such as conventional composition may take the edge off the first inclusive reaction.
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.
Ansel Adams
