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
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

Ansel Adams
Image

Ansel Adams
Image
The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.
Ansel Adams
Image
It is just as important to bring people the evidence of the beauty of the world of nature and of man as it is to give them a document of ugliness, squalor, and despair.
Ansel Adams
Image
Bad weather makes for good photography.
Ansel Adams
Image
You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
Ansel Adams
Image
I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.
Ansel Adams
Image
Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.
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.
Ansel Adams
Image
It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.
Ansel Adams
