The ‘machine-gun’ approach to photography – by which many negatives are made with the hope that one will be good – is fatal to serious results.
Ansel Adams

Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.
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
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
I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.

If what I see in my mind excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph.
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
...one sees differently with color photography than black-and-white... in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
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
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
Ansel Adams
Image
I do not think there is any question of photography being an art form!
Ansel Adams
Image
While the photos at the D.M.V. (New York) will still be taken in color, the engraving is done in grayscale, hence the Ansel Adams feel.
Ansel Adams
Image
In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
