White to move and mate in two #473 - Ansel Adams [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2024-02-22  

Happy Birthday to Ansel Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984), American landscape photographer extraordinaire and environmentalist known for his black-and-white images of the American West.

A few words of wisdom from Ansel Adams —

“Life is your art. An open, aware heart is your camera. A oneness with your world is your film. Your bright eyes and easy smile is your museum.”

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”

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

“To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.”

“Once destroyed, nature’s beauty cannot be repurchased at any price.”

“It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.”

“We must be certain that, as the rights and dignity of the individual are the most sacred elements of society, we will not allow passion, vengeance, hatred and racial antagonism to cloud the principle of universal justice and mercy.“
