Ansel Adams quotes
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
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.
No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.
To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.
