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.

I Can Look At A Fine Art Photograph And Sometimes I Can Hear Music.

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.

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.

Art Is Both The Taking And Giving Of Beauty; The Turning Out To The Light The Inner Folds Of The Awareness Of The Spirit. It Is The Recreation On Another Plane Of The Realities Of The World; The Tragic And Wonderful Realities Of Earth And Men, And Of All The Inter-relations Of These.

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.

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.

We Were In The Shadow Of The Mountains, The Light Was Cool And Quiet And No Wind Was Stirring. The Aspen Trunks Were Slightly Greenish And The Leaves Were A Vibrant Yellow.

I Know Some Photographs That Are Extraodrinary In Their Power And Conviction, But It Is Difficult In Photography To Overcome The Superficial Power Or Subject; The Concept And Statement Must Be Quite Convincing In Themselves To Win Over A Dramatic And Compelling Subject Situation.

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.

"simply Look With Perceptive Eyes At The World About You, And Trust To Your Own Reactions And Convictions. Ask Yourself: "does This Subject Move Me To Feel, Think And Dream? Can I Visualize A Print - My Own Personal Statement Of What I Feel And Want To Convey - From The Subject Before Me?""

The Herculean Task Of A Photographer Is To Capture A Momentary Frame As Beautiful In Reality, As It Would Be In A Dream.

The Sheer Ease With Which We Can Produce A Superficial Image Often Leads To Creative Disaster.

I Believe In Beauty. I Believe In Stones And Water, Air And Soil, People And Their Future And Their Fate.

This Profession [photography] Is Deserving Of Attention And Respect Equal To That Accorded Painting, Literature, Music And Architecture.

Not Everybody Trusts Paintings But People Believe Photographs.

The Negative Is Comparable To The Composer's Score And The Print To Its Performance. Each Performance Differs In Subtle Ways.

Image Quality Is Not The Product Of A Machine, But Of The Person Who Directs The Machine, And There Are No Limits To Imagination And Expression.

The Photo-journalist And The Photo-poet Are Both Important. The Problem Is To Separate The Major Objectives Of The Various Groups And Not To Attribute Qualities And Intentions Where They Do Not Belong.

If What I See In My Mind Excites Me, There Is A Good Chance It Will Make A Good Photograph.

A Good Photograph Is Knowing Where To Stand.

Photography, As A Powerful Medium Of Expression And Communications, Offers An Infinite Variety Of Perception, Interpretation And Execution.

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.

I Expect To Retire To A Fine-grained Heaven Where The Temperatures Are Always Consistent, Where The Images Slide Before One's Eyes In A Continual Cascade Of Form And Meaning.

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.

There Are Always Two People In Every Picture: The Photographer And The Viewer.

The Only Things In My Life That Compatibly Exists With This Grand Universe Are The Creative Works Of The Human Spirit.

A Photograph Is Not An Accident - Is A Concept. It Exists At, Or Before, The Moment Of Exposure Of The Negative.

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.

At One With The Power Of The American Landscape, And Renowned For The Patient Skill And Timeless Beauty Of His Work, Photographer Ansel Adams Has Been Visionary In His Efforts To Preserve This Country's Wild And Scenic Areas, Both In Film And On Earth. Drawn To The Beauty Of Nature's Monuments, He Is Regarded By Environmentalists As A Monument Himself, And By Photographers As A National Institution. It Is Through His Foresight And Fortitude That So Much Of America Has Been Saved For Future Americans.

The Camera Cannot, But The Photographer Can.

It Is My Intention To Present - Through The Medium Of Photography - Intuitive Observations Of The Natural World Which May Have Meaning To The Spectators.

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.

These People Live Again In Print As Intensely As When Their Images Were Captured On Old Dry Plates Of Sixty Years Ago... I Am Walking In Their Alleys, Standing In Their Rooms And Sheds And Workshops, Looking In And Out Of Their Windows. Any They In Turn Seem To Be Aware Of Me.

You Don't Make A Photograph Just With A Camera

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.

It Is Horrifying That We Have To Fight Our Own Government To Save The Environment.

When Words Become Unclear, I Shall Focus With Photographs. When Images Become Inadequate, I Shall Be Content With Silence.

The Craft Of Photography Is The Key To Good Images.

It Is The Photographer, Not The Camera, That Is The Instrument.

We Must Remember That A Photograph Can Hold Just As Much As We Put Into It, And No One Has Ever Approached The Full Possibilities Of The Medium.

Knowing What I Know Now, Any Photographer Worth His Salt Could Make Some Beautiful Things With Pinhole Cameras.

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.

I Think We Can Not Categorize. Things Do Not Fit Into A Mold.

How High Your Awareness Level Is Determines How Much Meaning You Get From Your World. Photography Can Teach You To Improve Your Awareness Level.

There Is Nothing Worse Than A Sharp Image Of A Fuzzy Concept.

Myths And Creeds Are Heroic Struggles To Comprehend The Truth In The World.

To Visualize An Image (in Whole Or In Part) Is To See Clearly In The Mind Prior To Exposure, A Continuous Projection From Composing The Image Through The Final Print.

...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.

Black And White

The Technique Of 35mm Photography Appears Simple. One Is Beguiled By The Quick Viewing And Operation, And By The Very Questionable Inclination To Make Many Pictures With The Hope That Some Will Be Good.

The [35mm] Camera Is For Life And For People, The Swift And Intense Moments Of Life.

Intense Moments

The Negative Is The Score, And The Print The Performance.

Emphasis On Technique Is Justified Only So Far As It Will Simplify And Clarify The Statement Of The Photographer's Concept.

Ask Yourself, 'why Am I Seeing And Feeling This? How Am I Growing? What Am I Learning?' Remember: Every Coincidence Is Potentially Meaningful.

A Great Photograph Is One That Fully Expresses What One Feels, In The Deepest Sense, About What Is Being Photographed.

A Photograph Is Not An Accident - It Is A Concept.

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.

I Think Photography Is Being Recognized And Collected. Its Values Have Certainly Gone Up And Continue To Go Up.

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.

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.

We All Move On The Fringes Of Eternity And Are Sometimes Granted Vistas Through Fabric Of Illusion.

A True Photograph Need Not Be Explained, Nor Can It Be Contained In Words.

The Skies And Land Are So Enormous, And The Detail So Precise And Exquisite That Wherever You Are You Are Isolated In A Glowing World Between The Macro And The Micro.

I Know The Importance Of Highly Trained Awareness Of The “moment” And The Immediate And Intuitive Response Of The Photographer. It Should Be Obvious To All That Photographers Whose Images Possess Character And Quality Have Attained Them Only By Continued Practice And Total Dedication To The Medium.

I Do Not Think There Is Any Question Of Photography Being An Art Form!

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.

There Are No Rules For Good Photographs, There Are Only Good Photographs.

The Term Accessories Has Come To Include A Host Of Photographic Gadgets Of Questionable Value.

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.

You Don't Take A Picture, You Make A Picture.

It Is Increasingly Clear To Me That My Art Relates More And More To A Sublimation Of My Closeness To The Natural World, It's Events, Light Itself, And The Positive It Is A Personal Expression Based On Observation And Reaction, That I Am Not Able To Define Except In Terms Of The Work Itself.

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.

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.

Some Photographers Take Reality... And Impose The Domination Of Their Own Thought And Spirit. Others Come Before Reality More Tenderly And A Photograph To Them Is An Instrument Of Love And Revelation.

A Great Photograph Is A Full Expression Of What One Feels...

To Photograph Truthfully And Effectively Is To See Beneath The Surfaces.

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.

All I Can Do In My Writing Is To Stimulate A Certain Amount Of Thought, Clarify Some Technical Facts And Date My Work. But When I Preach Sharpness, Brilliancy, Scale, Etc., I Am Just Mouthing Words, Because No Words Can Really Describe Those Terms And Qualities It Takes The Actual Print To Say, “here It Is.

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.

I Have Often Had A Retrospective Vision Where Everything In My Past Life Seems To Fall With Significance Into Logical Sequence.

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.

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.

We Make Images To "honor What Is Greater And More Interesting Than We Are."

There Are No Forms In Nature. Nature Is A Vast, Chaotic Collection Of Shapes. You As An Artist Create Configurations Out Of Chaos. You Make A Formal Statement Where There Was None To Begin With. All Art Is A Combination Of An External Event And An Internal Event… I Make A Photograph To Give You The Equivalent Of What I Felt. Equivalent Is Still The Best Word.

Today, We Must Realize That Nature Is Revealed In The Simplest Meadow, Wood Lot, Marsh, Stream, Or Tidepool, As Well As In The Remote Grandeur Of Our Parks And Wilderness Areas.

I’m Interested In Something Which Is Built Up From Within, Rather Than Just Extracted From Without.

I've Always Thought Photography Was An Art Form, But It Had Very Low Appreciation In The Beginning, Except For Some Europeans, And Of Course Stieglitz. Stieglitz Always Considered Photography To Be An Art Form And Is The "father" Of The Creative Concepts Of The Twentieth Century.

You Don't Take A Photograph, You Make It.

Yosemite Valley, To Me, Is Always A Sunrise, A Glitter Of Green And Golden Wonder In A Vast Edifice Of Stone And Space. I Know Of No Sculpture, Painting Or Music That Exceeds The Compelling Spiritual Command Of The Soaring Shape Of Granite Cliff And Dome, Of Patina Of Light On Rock And Forest, And Of The Thunder And Whispering Of The Falling, Flowing Waters. At First The Colossal Aspect May Dominate; Then We Perceive And Respond To The Delicate And Persuasive Complex Of Nature.

The Great Rocks Of Yosemite, Expressing Qualities Of Timeless Yet Intimate Grandeur, Are The Most Compelling Formations Of Their Kind. We Should Not Casually Pass Them By, For They Are The Very Heart Of The Earth Speaking To Us.

Once Destroyed, Nature's Beauty Cannot Be Repurchased At Any Price

I Believe Photography Is A Tool To Express Our Positive Assessment Of The World. A Tool To Acquire Ultimate Happiness And Belief.

My Last Word S That It All Depends On What You Visualize.

Photography Has Escalated Almost Exponentially! It Is A Language Which Covers Almost Every Aspect Of Communication; Factual And Expressive.

Now There Is A Big Turnover In The Galleries. The Top Galleries Are Getting Better All The Time. A Lot Of Galleries Just Struggle Along, Then A New One Comes Along. There Are Certainly A Great Number Of Galleries. I Think This Argues Well For The Art But There Are, Of Course, A Lot Of "phonies" In All The Arts.

Twelve Significant Photographs In Any One Year Is A Good Crop.

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.

Landscape Photography Is The Supreme Test Of The Photographer - And Often The Supreme Disappointment.

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.

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.

With All Art Expression, When Something Is Seen, It Is A Vivid Experience, Sudden, Compelling, And Inevitable.

The (photographic) Negative Is The Equivalent Of The Composers Score And The Print Is The Equivalent Of The Conductors Performance.

My Wife - She Could Help Me Get The Negs Out!

One Of The Most Important Pieces Of Equipment, For The Photographer Who Really Wants To Improve, Is A Great Big Wastepaper Basket.

I Knew My Destiny When I First Experienced Yosemite.

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.

I Believe The Approach Of The Artist And The Approach Of The Environmentalist Are Fairly Close In That Both Are, To A Rather Impressive Degree, Concerned With The Affirmation Of Life.

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.

I Tried To Keep Both Arts Alive, But The Camera Won. I Found That While The Camera Does Not Express The Soul, Perhaps A Photograph Can!

Bad Weather Makes For Good Photography.

Good Photography

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.

If You Have Enough Craft, You've Done Your Homework And You're Practiced. You Can Then Make The Photograph You Desire.

While The Photos At The D.m.v. (new York) Will Still Be Taken In Color, The Engraving Is Done In Grayscale, Hence The Ansel Adams Feel.

In A Strict Sense Photography Can Never Be Abstract, For The Camera Is Incapable Of Synthetic Integration.

The Quality Of Place, The Reaction To Immediate Contact With Earth And Growing Things That Have A Fugal Relationship With Mountains And Sky, Is Essential To The Integrity Of Our Existence On This Planet.

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.

In Wisdom Gathered Over Time I Have Found That Every Experience Is A Form Of Exploration.

Photography Is More Than A Medium For Factual Communication Of Ideas. It Is A Creative Art.

Photographers And Artists Contribute A Lot To The World And Have A Right To Exist In Relative Security And Comfort.

It Is Easy To Take A Photograph, But It Is Harder To Make A Masterpiece In Photography Than In Any Other Art Medium.

Black And White Photography Is Truly Quite A 'departure From Reality', And The Transition From One Aspect Of Visual Magic To Another Was Not As Complete As Many Imagine.

Black And White

The Single Most Important Component Of A Camera Is The Twelve Inches Behind It!

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.

Photograph Not Only What You See But Also What You Feel.

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.

The Best Picture Is Around The Corner. Like Prosperity.

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.

Photography Is An Austere And Blazing Poetry Of The Real.

When I'm Ready To Make A Photograph, I Think I Quite Obviously See In My Minds Eye Something That Is Not Literally There In The True Meaning Of The Word. I'm Interested In Something Which Is Built Up From Within, Rather Than Just Extracted From Without.

The Artist And The Photographer Seek The Mysteries And The Adventure Of Experience In Nature.

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.

All Art Is The Expression Of One And The Same Thing- The Relation Of The Spirit Of Man To The Spirit Of Other Men And To The World.

Notebook. No Photographer Should Be Without One!

Yosemite Valley, To Me, Is Always A Sunrise, A Glitter Of Green And Golden Wonder In A Vast Edifice Of Stone And Space.

A Photograph Is Usually Looked At - Seldom Looked Into.

Digital Photography

The Dismal Half-baked Images Of The Average "reportage" And "documentary" Photography Are Self Dammning... The Slick Manner, The Slightly Obscure Significance, The Esoteric Fear Of Simple Beauty For Its Own Sake - I Am Deeply Concerned With These Manifestations Of Decay. Gene Smith's Work Validates My Most Vigorous Convictions That If The Documentary Photographs Is To Be Truly Effective It Must Contain Elements Of Art, Intensity, Fine Craft And Spirituality. All These His Work Contains And We May Turn To His Work With Gratitude, Appreciation And Great Respect.

I Don't Know Anybody Who Needs A Critic To Find Out What Art Is.

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.

All Art Is A Vision Penetrating The Illusions Of Reality, And Photography Is One Form Of This Vision And Revelation.

It Is Just As Important To Bring People The Evidence Of The Beauty Of The World Of Nature And Of Man As It Is To Give Them A Document Of Ugliness, Squalor, And Despair.

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.
