4 quotes from Ansel Adams, father of American Landscape photography, and 1 quote from Beavis and Butthead, dumbasses

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

“A good pho­to­graph is kno­wing where to stand.”
“In wis­dom gathe­red over time I have found that every expe­rience is a form of explo­ra­tion.”
“Lands­cape pho­to­graphy is the supreme test of the pho­to­grapher — and often the supreme disap­point­ment.”
“The nega­tive is com­pa­ra­ble to the composer’s score and the print to its per­for­mance. Each per­for­mance dif­fers in subtle ways.”
“Butthead: Tat­toos are cool.
Bea­vis: Yeah, I wish I was born with one.
Butthead: You’re not born with tat­toos, dum­bass. You get them when you join the navy.“
