IRREVERENT MUSING

Those who claim that Ansel Adams did not post process his work are delusional and naive. The following quotes from Ansel Adams portray the real picture (pun intended).

“Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships!” – Ansel Adams

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” – Ansel Adams

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

Photographers who believe that photography is solely the domain of the photographer discounting the point of view of the spectators is destined for oblivion.

“There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.” – Ansel Adams
