The Craft Of Photography Is The Key

The Great Rocks Of Yosemite, Expressing Qualities Of Timeless Yet Intimate Grandeur, Are The Most Compelling Formations Of Their Kind. We Should Not Casually Pass Them By, For They Are The Very Heart Of The Earth Speaking To Us.

No Matter How Sophisticated You May Be, A Large Granite Mountain Cannot Be Denied - It Speaks In Silence To The Very Core Of Your Being.

I Think Photography Is Being Recognized And Collected. Its Values Have Certainly Gone Up And Continue To Go Up.

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.

In My Mind's Eye, I Visualize How A Particular... Sight And Feeling Will Appear On A Print. If It Excites Me, There Is A Good Chance It Will Make A Good Photograph. It Is An Intuitive Sense, An Ability That Comes From A Lot Of Practice.
