More quotes by Ansel Adams
I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.
Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
Ansel Adams
You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
Ansel Adams
We all know the tragedy of the dustbowls, the cruel unforgivable erosions of the soil, the depletion of fish or game, and the shrinking of the noble forests. And we know that such catastrophes shrivel the spirit of the people... The wilderness is pushed back, man is everywhere. Solitude, so vital to the individual man, is almost nowhere.
Ansel Adams
