You don't take a photograph, you make it.
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.
Ansel Adams
Image
I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.
Ansel Adams
Image
Photographers and artists contribute a lot to the world and have a right to exist in relative security and comfort.
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
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
Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
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.

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

Image
Bad weather makes for good photography.
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.
Ansel Adams
Image
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.
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 are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
Ansel Adams
Image
Now there is a big turnover in the galleries. The top galleries are getting better all the time. A lot of galleries just struggle along, then a new one comes along. There are certainly a great number of galleries. I think this argues well for the art but there are, of course, a lot of phonies in all the arts.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
Image
I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.
Ansel Adams
Image
The herculean task of a photographer is to capture a momentary frame as beautiful in reality, as it would be in a dream.
Ansel Adams
Image
To visualize an image (in whole or in part) is to see clearly in the mind prior to exposure, a continuous projection from composing the image through the final print.
Ansel Adams
Image
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.
