I am always surprised when I s...

I am always surprised when I see several cameras, a gaggle on lenses, filters, meters, et cetera, rattling around in a soft bag with a complement of refuse and dust. Sometimes the professional is the worst offender!

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

We all move on the fringes of ...

We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion. Many refuse to admit it: I feel a mystery exists. There are certain times, when, as on the whisper of the wind, there comes a clear and quiet realization that there is indeed a presence in the world, a nonhuman entity that is not necessarily inhuman.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

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 180 quotes

I believe the world is incompr...

I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

The disciples are drawn to the high altars with magnetic certainty, knowing that a great Presence hovers over the ranges ... You were within the portals of the temple ... to enter the wilderness and seek, in the primal patterns of nature, a magical union with beauty.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

You don't make a photograph ju...

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.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

In a strict sense photography ...

In a strict sense photography can never be abstract, for the camera is incapable of synthetic integration.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

I usually have an immediate recognition of the potential image, and I have found that too much concern about matters such as conventional composition may take the edge off the first inclusive reaction.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

Ask yourself, 'Why am I seeing...

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 180 quotes

I have often had a retrospecti...

I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence. Intuition, suspicion, or confidence in new ventures; there is a strange strain within me when advantage is not taken of some situation, the immediacy of recognition of the rightness or wrongness of a mood, a response, a decision - they are so often valid that I am increasingly convinced that we have yet to grasp the reality of existence.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

I am probably afraid that some...

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.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

As the fisherman depends upon ...

As the fisherman depends upon the rivers, lakes and seas and the farmer upon the land for his existence, so does mankind in general depend upon the beauty of the world about him for his spiritual and emotional existence.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

If you have enough craft, you've done your homework and you're practiced. You can then make the photograph you desire.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

...one sees differently with c...

...one sees differently with color photography than black-and-white... in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

We all know the tragedy of the...

We all know the tragedy of the dustbowls, the cruel unforgivable erosions of the soil, the depletion of fish or game, and the shrinking of the noble forests. And we know that such catastrophes shrivel the spirit of the people... The wilderness is pushed back, man is everywhere. Solitude, so vital to the individual man, is almost nowhere.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

Both the grand and the intimat...

Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and wonder surrounding him.

Ansel Adams 180 quotes

Photography is an austere and blazing poetry of the real.

Notebook. No photographer should be without one!

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.
