I know that I am one with beauty and that my comrades are one. Let our souls be mountains, Let our spirits be stars, Let our hearts be worlds.

Image
How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world. Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level.
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
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
Image
As the fisherman depends upon the rivers, lakes and seas and the farmer upon the land for his existence, so does mankind in general depend upon the beauty of the world about him for his spiritual and emotional existence.
Ansel Adams
Image
I respect everything in change and the solemn beauty of life and death... and therefore, while man is amidst the immense beauty of objective bodies, he must possess the capacity of self-perfection and must observe and represent his world with full confidence.
Ansel Adams
Image
I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!
Ansel Adams
Image
We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion.
Ansel Adams
Image
I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence.

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
Ansel Adams
Image
If you have enough craft, you've done your homework and you're practiced. You can then make the photograph you desire.
Ansel Adams
Image
Once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price
Ansel Adams
Image
In a strict sense photography can never be abstract, for the camera is incapable of synthetic integration.
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.
Ansel Adams
Image
Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation .
Ansel Adams
Image
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.
Ansel Adams
Image
I eagerly await new concepts and processes. I believe that the electronic image will be the next major advance. Such systems will have their own inherent and inescapable structural characteristics, and the artist and functional practitioner will again strive to comprehend and control them.

The [35mm] camera is for life and for people, the swift and intense moments of life.

My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.
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

I never know in advance what I will photograph,...I Go Out into the World and Hope I Will come across something that Imperatively interests me. I Am Addicted to the Found object. I have No doubt that I Will Continue to make Photographs till my last Breath.
