More quotes by Ansel Adams
We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion.
Ansel Adams
Art is both the taking and giving of beauty the turning out to the light the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is the recreation on another plane of the realities of the world the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men, and of all the inter-relations of these.
Ansel Adams
Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.
Ansel Adams
The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.
Ansel Adams
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
Ansel Adams
I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief.
Ansel Adams
We were in the shadow of the mountains, the light was cool and quiet and no wind was stirring. The aspen trunks were slightly greenish and the leaves were a vibrant yellow.
Ansel Adams
A photograph is not an accident - it is a concept.
Ansel Adams
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
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
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
Ansel Adams
The camera cannot, but the photographer can.
Ansel Adams
If you have enough craft, you've done your homework and you're practiced. You can then make the photograph you desire.
Ansel Adams
Today, we must realize that nature is revealed in the simplest meadow, wood lot, marsh, stream, or tidepool, as well as in the remote grandeur of our parks and wilderness areas.
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
...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
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
With all art expression, when something is seen, it is a vivid experience, sudden, compelling, and inevitable.
Ansel Adams
The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
Ansel Adams
I believe the approach of the artist and the approach of the environmentalist are fairly close in that both are, to a rather impressive degree, concerned with the affirmation of life.
Ansel Adams
