“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. ...” — Ansel Adams Quote

“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.”

“There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.”

“To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.”

“A great artist is always before his time or behind it.”

“History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.”

“The art of natural education consists in ignoring the faults of children nine times out of ten, in avoiding immediate interference, which is usually a mistake, and devoting one's whole vigilance to the control of the environment in which the child is growing up, to watching the education which is allowed to go on by itself.”
