Ansel Adams

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

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams
Image quality is not the product of a machine, but of the person who directs the machine, and there are no limits to imagination and expression.
Ansel Adams
The [35mm] camera is for life and for people, the swift and intense moments of life.
Ansel Adams
The technique of 35mm photography appears simple. One is beguiled by the quick viewing and operation, and by the very questionable inclination to make many pictures with the hope that some will be good.
Ansel Adams
The great rocks of Yosemite, expressing qualities of timeless yet intimate grandeur, are the most compelling formations of their kind. We should not casually pass them by, for they are the very heart of the earth speaking to us.
Ansel Adams
The (photographic) negative is the equivalent of the composers score and the print is the equivalent of the conductors performance.
