These people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys, standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops, looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me.
Ansel Adams
Image
Knowing what I know now, any photographer worth his salt could make some beautiful things with pinhole cameras.
Ansel Adams
Image
We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion.
