Ansel AdamsI hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.
Ansel AdamsWe all know the tragedy of the dustbowls, the cruel unforgivable erosions of the soil, the depletion of fish or game, and the shrinking of the noble forests. And we know that such catastrophes shrivel the spirit of the people... The wilderness is pushed back, man is everywhere. Solitude, so vital to the individual man, is almost nowhere.
