Ansel Adams Quotes

Emphasis on technique is justified only so far as it will simplify and clarify the statement of the photographer’s concept Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

To the vast majority of people a photograph is an image of something within their direct experience: a more-or-less factual reality. It is difficult for them to realize that the photograph can be the source of experience, as well as the reflection of spiritual awareness of the world and of self Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I respect everything in change and the solemn beauty of life and death... and therefore, while man is amidst the immense beauty of objective bodies, he must possess the capacity of self-perfection and must observe and represent his world with full confidence Picture Quote #1

Ask yourself, ‘Why am I seeing and feeling this? How am I growing? What am I learning?’ Remember: Every coincidence is potentially meaningful Picture Quote #1

Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation Picture Quote #1

There still is some opposition to it in some museums and art schools, but I think photography has really grown into a mature art form Picture Quote #1

For me the future of the image is going to be in electronic form ... You will see perfectly beautiful images on an electronic screen. And Id say that would be very handsome. They would be almost as close as the best reproductions Picture Quote #1

No matter how sophisticated you may be, a large granite mountain cannot be denied - it speaks in silence to the very core of your being Picture Quote #1

I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder Picture Quote #1

The [35mm] camera is for life and for people, the swift and intense moments of life Picture Quote #1

Photography has escalated almost exponentially! It is a language which covers almost every aspect of communication; factual and expressive Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space Picture Quote #1

I know that I am one with beauty and that my comrades are one. Let our souls be mountains, Let our spirits be stars, Let our hearts be worlds Picture Quote #1

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence Picture Quote #1

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art Picture Quote #1

There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept Picture Quote #1

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into Picture Quote #1

Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world Picture Quote #1

I don’t know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is Picture Quote #1

The term accessories has come to include a host of photographic gadgets of questionable value Picture Quote #1

The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The herculean task of a photographer is to capture a momentary frame as beautiful in reality, as it would be in a dream Picture Quote #1

If what I see in my mind excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph Picture Quote #1
