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 eventโฆ I make a photograph to give you the equivalent of what I felt. Equivalent is still the best word.
Ansel AdamsNo matter how sophisticated you may be, a large granite mountain cannot be denied - it speaks in silence to the very core of your being.
Ansel AdamsI 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.
Ansel Adams
