More quotes by Ansel Adams
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 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
I eagerly await new concepts and processes. I believe that the electronic image will be the next major advance. Such systems will have their own inherent and inescapable structural characteristics, and the artist and functional practitioner will again strive to comprehend and control them.
Ansel Adams
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
The camera cannot, but the photographer can.
Ansel Adams
Notebook. No photographer should be without one!
Ansel Adams
My wife - she could help me get the negs out!
Ansel Adams
My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.
Ansel Adams
Bad weather makes for good photography.
Ansel Adams
Now there is a big turnover in the galleries. The top galleries are getting better all the time. A lot of galleries just struggle along, then a new one comes along. There are certainly a great number of galleries. I think this argues well for the art but there are, of course, a lot of phonies in all the arts.
Ansel Adams
The term accessories has come to include a host of photographic gadgets of questionable value.
Ansel Adams
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
Ansel Adams
I think we can not categorize. Things do not fit into a mold.
Ansel Adams
The negative is the score, and the print the performance.
Ansel Adams
The great rocks of Yosemite, expressing qualities of timeless yet intimate grandeur, are the most compelling formations of their kind. We should not casually pass them by, for they are the very heart of the earth speaking to us.
Ansel Adams
Wilderness is rapidly becoming one of those aspects of the American dream which is more of the past than of the present. Wilderness is not only a condition of nature, but a state of mind and mood and heart. It cannot be confined to the museum-case status—seen only as a passing diorama from superlative throughways.
Ansel Adams
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
I believe in beauty. I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.
Ansel Adams
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
The quality of place, the reaction to immediate contact with earth and growing things that have a fugal relationship with mountains and sky, is essential to the integrity of our existence on this planet.
Ansel Adams
