FLICKR WALKABOUT

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

- Buddha -

"Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships."
Ansel Adams

"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs."
Ansel Adams

"We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium."
Ansel Adams

"You don't take a photograph, you make it."
Ansel Adams

"I eagerly await new concepts and processes. I believe that the electronic image will be the next major advance. Such systems will have their own inherent and inescapable structural characteristics, and the artist and functional practitioner will again strive to comprehend and control them."
Ansel Adams

"For me the future of the image is going to be in electronic form. ... You will see perfectly beautiful images on an electronic screen. And I'd say that would be very handsome. They would be almost as close as the best reproductions."

Ansel Adams

“No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.”

Ansel Adams

"maneat imago cum verbum volat."

"art is a selfish thing, all art has to be for the person who is doing it, it has to be something they are driven to do, and the fact that other people like it, it's a bonus"

David Gilmour

"Creativity is allowing your self to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep"

Scott Adams

"You can learn everything about how to take a picture and how to work in the dark room in a month. To learn how to capture what it is happening in front of you is another thing, it can take years"
