Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“… how did we come so quickly and so far from the time when a guy like Ansel Adams was happy with 12 good photographs a year? Where has the slower, more considered, less frantic approach to craft gone? Want to be happier as a photographer, more content? Slow your roll<\/em>.” — David DuChemin<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter.<\/em>“<\/span> — Ansel Adams<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Photography\u2019s potential as a great image-maker and communicator is really no different from the same potential in the best poetry where familiar, everyday words, placed within a special context, can soar above the intellect and touch subtle reality in a unique way.<\/em>“<\/span> — Paul Caponigro<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
