Ansel Adams
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 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

Ansel Adams
The craft of photography is the key to good images.
Ansel Adams
It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.
Ansel Adams
This profession [photography] is deserving of attention and respect equal to that accorded painting, literature, music and architecture.
