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.

Image
It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.
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
The next time you pick up a camera think of it not as an inflexible and automated robot, but as a flexible instrument which you must understand to properly use. An electronic and optical miracle creates nothing on its own! Whatever beauty and excitement it can represent exist in your mind and spirit to begin with.

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

Image
I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.
Ansel Adams
Image
The camera cannot, but the photographer can.
Ansel Adams
Image
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
Ansel Adams
Image
The technique of 35mm photography appears simple. One is beguiled by the quick viewing and operation, and by the very questionable inclination to make many pictures with the hope that some will be good.
Ansel Adams
Image
For me the future of the image is going to be in electronic form... You will see perfectly beautiful images on an electronic screen. And Id say that would be very handsome. They would be almost as close as the best reproductions.
Ansel Adams
Image
Photography and photographers have an inevitable development. They progress more or less by steps. Every five or ten years some new point of view is developed and young people are inclined to follow it.
Ansel Adams
Image
The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
Image
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
Ansel Adams
Image
The (photographic) negative is the equivalent of the composers score and the print is the equivalent of the conductors performance.
Ansel Adams
Image
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
Ansel Adams
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
It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.
Ansel Adams
Image
I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.
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
The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
