Ansel Adams Quotes

«Notebook. No photographer should be without one!»
«The only things in my life that compatibly exist with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.»
«In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.»
«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.»
Author: Ansel Adams (Photographer) | Keywords: approached
«It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.»
«The negative is the equivalent of the composer's score, and the print the performance.»
Author: Ansel Adams (Photographer) | Keywords: The Negative
«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.»
«I never know in advance what I will photograph, ... I go out into the world and hope I will come across something that imperatively interests me. I am addicted to the found object. I have no doubt that I will continue to make photographs till my last breath.»
«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.»
«I am probably afraid that some spectator will not understand my photography - therefore I proceed to make it really less understandable by writing defensibly about it.»
