Ansel Adams

"You don't take a photograph, you make it."

"Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs."

"There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept."

"Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art."

"There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit."

"Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art."
