Ansel Adams
Image
Ask yourself, 'Why am I seeing and feeling this? How am I growing? What am I learning?' Remember: Every coincidence is potentially meaningful.
Ansel Adams
Image

Ansel Adams
Image
Knowing what I know now, any photographer worth his salt could make some beautiful things with pinhole cameras.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
Image
Emphasis on technique is justified only so far as it will simplify and clarify the statement of the photographer's concept.
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.
