For me the future of the image is going to be in electronic form... You will see perfectly beautiful images on an electronic screen. And Id say that would be very handsome. They would be almost as close as the best reproductions.

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels...
Ansel Adams

I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.
Ansel Adams
Image
We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!

Image
Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
Ansel Adams

It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.
