More quotes by Ansel Adams

Image
There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.
Ansel Adams
Image
It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.
Ansel Adams
Image
Bad weather makes for good photography.
Ansel Adams
Image
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
Ansel Adams
Image
I can't verbalize the internal meaning of pictures whatsoever. Some of my friends can at very mystical levels, but I prefer to say that, if I feel something strongly, I would make a photograph, that would be the equivalent of what I saw and felt.
Ansel Adams
Image
The (photographic) negative is the equivalent of the composers score and the print is the equivalent of the conductors performance.
Ansel Adams
Image
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

Ansel Adams
Image
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
Image
I know some photographs that are extraodrinary in their power and conviction, but it is difficult in photography to overcome the superficial power or subject the concept and statement must be quite convincing in themselves to win over a dramatic and compelling subject situation.
Ansel Adams
Image
I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.
Ansel Adams
Image
Let us leave a splendid legacy for our children...let us turn to them and say, this you inherit: guard it well, for it is far more precious than money...and once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price.
Ansel Adams
Image
I’m interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
Ansel Adams
Image
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
Ansel Adams
Image
I know that I am one with beauty and that my comrades are one. Let our souls be mountains, Let our spirits be stars, Let our hearts be worlds.
Ansel Adams
Image
A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
Ansel Adams
Image
Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.
Ansel Adams
Image
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
