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

To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.
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.

There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
Ansel Adams

You don't make a photograph just with a camera
Ansel Adams
Image
Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

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
The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.
Ansel Adams
Image
If what I see in my mind excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph.

Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.
Ansel Adams
Image
I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.

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.
