Ansel Adams
  • “In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.” ...
  • “There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.” ...
  • “Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.” ...
  • “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.
Henri Cartier-Bresson - “Your first ten thousand photographs are your worst.” –
