With the recent talk about inspecting jpegs on a display, versus viewing how the print looks, I began to wonder what Ansel Adams might say about this if he were alive today. As I have many of his books, which contain some wonderful comments about the craft of photography, I found a few quotes that I think are appropos...
"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs."
"The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways."
"A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into."
"There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept."
