Still photographs often differ from life more by their silence than by the immobility of their subjects. Landscape pictures tend to converge with life, however, on summer nights, when the sounds outside, after we call in children and close garage doors, are small - the whir of moths, the snap of a stick.
Robert AdamsSilence is, after all, the context for the deepest appreciation of art: the only important evaluations are finally, personal, interior ones.
Robert AdamsDo not allow your thoughts to become greater than you. No matter what your thoughts tell you, don't listen. Remember your thoughts are not your friend. Your thoughts try to confound you, confuse you. And they will tell you all kinds of things. Do not listen to your thoughts, even your good thoughts. Transcend everything, go beyond your thoughts to your bliss, to your joy and to your happiness.
Robert AdamsNo place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film.
