Ansel Adams

Quotes

• “A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.”

• “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.”

• “The herculean task of a photographer is to capture a momentary frame as beautiful in reality, as it would be in a dream.”
