Ansel Adams Quotes

«Some photographers take reality...and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.»
«Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.»
«Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.»
«Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.»
«I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!»
«Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.»
«Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.»
«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.»
«I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.»
«A good photograph is knowing where to stand.»
