Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
Ansel Adams
Image
If what I see in my mind excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph.

Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.

Image
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
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.

Notebook. No photographer should be without one!
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.

My wife - she could help me get the negs out!

In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.

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.

Image
There still is some opposition to it in some museums and art schools, but I think photography has really grown into a mature art form.
Ansel Adams
Image
I usually have an immediate recognition of the potential image, and I have found that too much concern about matters such as conventional composition may take the edge off the first inclusive reaction.

You don't take a photograph, you make it.

The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.
