Image
The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.
Ansel Adams
Image
The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.
Ansel Adams
Image
We make images to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are.

Image
You don't make a photograph just with a camera
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
All art is the expression of one and the same thing- the relation of the spirit of man to the spirit of other men and to the world.
Ansel Adams
Image
We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion. Many refuse to admit it: I feel a mystery exists. There are certain times, when, as on the whisper of the wind, there comes a clear and quiet realization that there is indeed a presence in the world, a nonhuman entity that is not necessarily inhuman.
Ansel Adams
Image
I believe in beauty. I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.
Ansel Adams
Image
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
Ansel Adams
Image
The camera cannot, but the photographer can.
Ansel Adams
Image
You don't take a picture, you make a picture.
Ansel Adams
Image
I can look at a fine art photograph and sometimes I can hear music.
Ansel Adams
Image
I never know in advance what I will photograph,...I Go Out into the World and Hope I Will come across something that Imperatively interests me. I Am Addicted to the Found object. I have No doubt that I Will Continue to make Photographs till my last Breath.
Ansel Adams
Image
I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.
Ansel Adams
Image
Art is both the taking and giving of beauty the turning out to the light the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is the recreation on another plane of the realities of the world the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men, and of all the inter-relations of these.
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
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
We were in the shadow of the mountains, the light was cool and quiet and no wind was stirring. The aspen trunks were slightly greenish and the leaves were a vibrant yellow.
Ansel Adams
Image
Photography has escalated almost exponentially! It is a language which covers almost every aspect of communication factual and expressive.
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.
