Ansel Adams citáty a výroky

Ansel Adams: Citáty anglicky

“To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.”

Kontext: I would never apologize for photographing rocks. Rocks can be very beautiful. But, yes, people have asked why I don’t put people into my pictures of the natural scene. I respond, “There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.” That usually doesn’t go over at all.

“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.”

“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.”

"A Personal Credo" (1943), published in American Annual of Photography (1944), reprinted in Nathan Lyons, editor, Photographers on Photography (1966), reprinted in Vicki Goldberg, editor, Photography in Print: Writings from 1816 to the Present (1988)

“Yes, in the sense that the negative is like the composer’s score. Then, using that musical analogy, the print is the performance.”

Paraphrased as "Film is the score and the print is the performance."
