Ansel Adams Believe Quotations

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder.

I believe the approach of the artist and the approach of the environmentalist are fairly close in that both are, to a rather impressive degree, concerned with the affirmation of life.

I believe in beauty. I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.

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.

I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief.
