More quotes by Ansel Adams
I know some photographs that are extraodrinary in their power and conviction, but it is difficult in photography to overcome the superficial power or subject the concept and statement must be quite convincing in themselves to win over a dramatic and compelling subject situation.
Ansel Adams
We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium.
Ansel Adams
Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
Ansel Adams
Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.
Ansel Adams
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
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
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
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
A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
Ansel Adams
Black and white photography is truly quite a 'departure from reality', and the transition from one aspect of visual magic to another was not as complete as many imagine.
Ansel Adams
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
Ansel Adams
The great rocks of Yosemite, expressing qualities of timeless yet intimate grandeur, are the most compelling formations of their kind. We should not casually pass them by, for they are the very heart of the earth speaking to us.
Ansel Adams
Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation .
Ansel Adams
My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.
Ansel Adams
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
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
Ansel Adams
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
Ansel Adams
I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.
Ansel Adams
I usually have an immediate recognition of the potential image, and I have found that too much concern about matters such as conventional composition may take the edge off the first inclusive reaction.
Ansel Adams
These people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys, standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops, looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me.
Ansel Adams
