photography is the supreme test of the photographer
and often the supreme disappointment.

- 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.

photographs.

Adams > Photography,

Belief
- Photography
is an investigation of both the outer and the
inner worlds. The first experiences with the camera
involve looking at the world beyond the lens,
trusting the instrument will 'capture' something
'seen.' The terms shoot and take are not accidental;
they represent an attitude of conquest and appropriation.
Only when the photographer grows into perception
and creative impulse does the term make define
a condition of empathy between the external and
the internal events.

- For
the first time I know what love is; what friends
are; and what art should be. Love is a seeking
for a way of life; the way that cannot be followed
alone; the resonance of all spiritual and physical
things. Friendship is another form of love.. more
passive perhaps, but full of the transmitting
and acceptances of things like thunderclouds and
grass and the clean granite of reality. Art is
both love and friendship and understanding: the
desire to give. It is not charity, which is the
giving of things. It is more than kindness, which
is the giving of self. It is both the taking and
giving of beauty, the turning out to the light
of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.
It is a recreation on another plane of the realities
of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities
of earth and men, and of all the interrelations
of these.

- To
photograph truthfully and effectively is to see
beneath the surfaces and record the qualities
of nature and humanity which live or are latent
in all things.

Nature,
Truthfully
- I
am more than ever convinced that the only possible
way to interpret the scenes hereabout is through
an impressionistic vision. A cold material representation
gives one no conception whatever of the great
size and distances of these mountains.
Ansel
Adams > Landscapes,
Impressionism
- I
often wonder at the strength and courage my father
had in taking me out of the traditional school
situation and providing me with these extraordinary
learning experiences.
Ansel
Adams > Strength,
Learning
- I'm
interested in expressing something which is built
up from within, rather than just extracted from
without.
Ansel
Adams > Express,
Interested
