“At one with the power of the American landscape, and renowned for the patient skill and timeless beauty of his work, photographer Ansel Adams has been visionary in his efforts to preserve this country's wild and scenic areas, both in film and on Earth. Drawn to the beauty of nature's monuments, he is regarded by environmentalists as a monument himself, and by photographers as a national institution. It is through his foresight and fortitude that so much of America has been saved for future Americans.” Has BeensCountryEarthAmericaFilmEffortSkillsAreasInstitutionsPatientPhotographerSavedLandscapePreservesTimelessFortitudeMonumentVisionariesForesightEnvironmentalistNature BeautyRenownedScenicAmerican Landscape Author:Ansel Adams
“I think that the photographer must completely control his picture and bring to it all his personality, and in this area most photographs never transcend being just snapshots. When a great photographer does infuse the snapshot with his personality and vision, it can be transformed into something truly moving and beautiful.” ThinkingDoeBeautifulMovingVisionPersonalityAreasPhotographerPhotographTransformedSnapshots Author:Duane Michals

“I work in several different groups of pictures which act on and with each other - ranging from several abstracted manners to a form for the surreal. I have been called a preacher - but, in reality, I'm more generally philosophical. I have never made an abstracted photograph without content. An educated background in Zen influences all of my photographs. It has been said that my work resembles, more closely than any photographer, Le Douanier Rousseau - working in a fairly isolated area and feeding mostly on myself - I feel that I am a primitive photographer.” FeelsHas BeensMadeSaidDifferentRealityFormGroupsInfluenceAreasPhilosophicalPhotographerPhotographBackgroundsEducatedMannersIsolatedPreacherPrimitiveFeedingSurreal Author:Ralph Eugene Meatyard
