Ansel Adams was born on this date in 1902.
Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me? When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

Adams was the subject of a 1981 documentary produced by PBS. It's excellent.

Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.
