The photo-journalist and the photo-poet are both important. The problem is to separate the major objectives of the various groups and not to attribute qualities and intentions where they do not belong.
Ansel Adams
Image
Black and white photography is truly quite a 'departure from reality', and the transition from one aspect of visual magic to another was not as complete as many imagine.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
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.

How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world. Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level.
Ansel Adams
Image
A photograph is not an accident - is a concept. It exists at, or before, the moment of exposure of the negative.
Ansel Adams
Image
We who are gathered here may represent a particular delete, not of money and power, but of concern for the earth for the earth's sake.
Ansel Adams
Image
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
Ansel Adams
Image
I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief.
Ansel Adams
Image
I think we can not categorize. Things do not fit into a mold.
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
Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.
Ansel Adams
Image
A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
