I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.

The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!

I’m interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

Photography and photographers...

Photography and photographers have an inevitable development. They progress more or less by steps. Every five or ten years some new point of view is developed and young people are inclined to follow it.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

Life is your art. An open, aw...

Life is your art. An open, aware heart is your camera. A oneness with your world is your film. Your bright eyes and easy smile is your museum.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

It is all very beautiful and magical here - a quality which cannot be described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake into you.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

This profession [photography] is deserving of attention and respect equal to that accorded painting, literature, music and architecture.

The next time you pick up a camera think of it not as an inflexible and automated robot, but as a flexible instrument which you must understand to properly use. An electronic and optical miracle creates nothing on its own! Whatever beauty and excitement it can represent exist in your mind and spirit to begin with.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

I eagerly await new concepts ...

I eagerly await new concepts and processes. I believe that the electronic image will be the next major advance. Such systems will have their own inherent and inescapable structural characteristics, and the artist and functional practitioner will again strive to comprehend and control them.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

I have often thought that if ...

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.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

Wilderness is rapidly becomin...

Wilderness is rapidly becoming one of those aspects of the American dream which is more of the past than of the present. Wilderness is not only a condition of nature, but a state of mind and mood and heart. It cannot be confined to the museum-case status—seen only as a passing diorama from superlative throughways.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

I never know in advance what ...

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.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

Impression is not enough. Des...

Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation .

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

I can't verbalize the internal meaning of pictures whatsoever. Some of my friends can at very mystical levels, but I prefer to say that, if I feel something strongly, I would make a photograph, that would be the equivalent of what I saw and felt.

You don't make a photograph just with a camera

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

The whole world is, to me, ve...

The whole world is, to me, very much "alive" - all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life - the things going on - within them. The same goes for a mountain, or a bit of the ocean, or a magnificent piece of old wood.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

We either have wild places or...

We either have wild places or we don't. We admit the spiritual-emotional validity of wild, beautiful places or we don't. We have a philosophy of simplicity of experience in these wild places or we don't. We admit an almost religious devotion to the clean exposition of the wild, natural earth or we don't.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

The ‘machine-gun’ approach to...

The ‘machine-gun’ approach to photography – by which many negatives are made with the hope that one will be good – is fatal to serious results.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

A photograph is not an accide...

A photograph is not an accident - is a concept. It exists at, or before, the moment of exposure of the negative.
