You seem to value Ansel Adam's gift for clarity. Your video is a reflection of one of his favorite sayings, a Gaelic mantra: "I know that I am one with beauty and that my comrades are one. Let our souls be mountains, Let our spirits be stars, Let our hearts be worlds."

Thank you for this. I particularly love the last part...."I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than extracted from without." "There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept." "You don't take a photograph, you make it." Such an honest truth.....

A photo must capture the essence of the subject.....Ansel Adams had a true gift for this.

"We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, & no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium." "When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than extracted from without.""There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept." "You don't take a photograph, u make it."

[iristoiris]

"No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions & emotions, & to build confidence in the creative spirit." "In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration." "The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.""A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words."

starrynight003- You seem to enjoy the medium of music videos for revealing your love of the natural world. You captured the profound creativity & originality that are part of the driving force of the human spirit, by focusing on the eye of Ansel Adams & connecting with his soul. "Not everybody trust paintings but people believe photographs." "Photography, as a powerful medium of expression & communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation & execution."
