Photographers and artists contribute a lot to the world and have a right to exist in relative security and comfort.

I do not think there is any question of photography being an art form!
Ansel Adams
Image
The (photographic) negative is the equivalent of the composers score and the print is the equivalent of the conductors performance.

Image
All I can do in my writing is to stimulate a certain amount of thought, clarify some technical facts and date my work. But when I preach sharpness, brilliancy, scale, etc., I am just mouthing words, because no words can really describe those terms and qualities it takes the actual print to say, “here it is.

How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world. Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level.

Knowing what I know now, any photographer worth his salt could make some beautiful things with pinhole cameras.

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.

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.

Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.
Ansel Adams
Image
It is all very beautiful and magical here - a quality which cannot be described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake into you.

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
Ansel Adams
Image
A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.
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
Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and wonder surrounding him.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
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 believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief.

Notebook. No photographer should be without one!

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.

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.
