More quotes by Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams
Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

We all know the tragedy of the dustbowls, the cruel unforgivable erosions of the soil, the depletion of fish or game, and the shrinking of the noble forests.

Ansel Adams
You don't take a photograph, you make it.
Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams
The herculean task of a photographer is to capture a momentary frame as beautiful in reality, as it would be in a dream.
Ansel Adams
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
Ansel Adams
The photo-journalist and the photo-poet are both important. The problem is to separate the major objectives of the various groups and not to attribute qualities and intentions where they do not belong.
Ansel Adams
Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation .
Ansel Adams
Bad weather makes for good photography.
Ansel Adams
I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief.
Ansel Adams
I’m interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
Ansel Adams
