Notebook. No photographer should be without one!
Ansel Adams
Image
A photograph is not an accident - is a concept. It exists at, or before, the moment of exposure of the negative.
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.

A photograph is not an accident - it is a concept.
Ansel Adams
Image
I am probably afraid that some spectator will not understand my photography - therefore I proceed to make it really less understandable by writing defensibly about it.

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

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
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
We who are gathered here may represent a particular delete, not of money and power, but of concern for the earth for the earth's sake.

Bad weather makes for good photography.

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
There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.

Image
A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.
Ansel Adams
Image
Photograph not only what you see but also what you feel.
