More quotes by Ansel Adams
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.
Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.
Ansel Adams
Bad weather makes for good photography.
Ansel Adams
All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation.
Ansel Adams
I think we can not categorize. Things do not fit into a mold.
Ansel Adams
The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.
Ansel Adams
It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.
