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.
From Ansel Adams
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.
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.
A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.
Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
