More quotes by Ansel Adams
You don't make a photograph just with a camera
Ansel Adams
It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.
Ansel Adams
I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.
Ansel Adams
A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
Ansel Adams
The [35mm] camera is for life and for people, the swift and intense moments of life.
Ansel Adams
Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.
Ansel Adams
Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.
Ansel Adams
I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!
Ansel Adams
The camera cannot, but the photographer can.
Ansel Adams
To the vast majority of people a photograph is an image of something within their direct experience: a more-or-less factual reality. It is difficult for them to realize that the photograph can be the source of experience, as well as the reflection of spiritual awareness of the world and of self.
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
Photographers and artists contribute a lot to the world and have a right to exist in relative security and comfort.
Ansel Adams
My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.
Ansel Adams
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
Ansel Adams
Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.
Ansel Adams
Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
Ansel Adams
There still is some opposition to it in some museums and art schools, but I think photography has really grown into a mature art form.
Ansel Adams
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.
Ansel Adams
I can look at a fine art photograph and sometimes I can hear music.
Ansel Adams
The next time you pick up a camera think of it not as an inflexible and automated robot, but as a flexible instrument which you must understand to properly use. An electronic and optical miracle creates nothing on its own! Whatever beauty and excitement it can represent exist in your mind and spirit to begin with.
Ansel Adams
