A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words. ~ Ansel Adams
真正的攝影作品,
不需要言語解釋,
也無法形諸文字。
A picture is worth a thousand words. Let them be the words that speak to you.
一張照片,勝過千言萬語。
要說的話,照片會告訴你。
Photograph - shouldn't show something, it should speak something.
照片,不要呈現表象,而要開口說話。
照片,不是要被看到,而是要被聽到。
I am probably afraid that some spectator will not understand my photography - therefore I proceed to make it really less understandable by writing defensibly about it. ~ Ansel Adams
擔心觀賞者不了解攝影,
我為照片加上文字説明,
卻讓作品更不容易了解。
I always thought good photos were like good jokes. If you have to explain it, it just isn’t that good.
好照片就像好笑話,如果還需要解釋,那就不夠好。
A photograph is not an accident – it is a concept. It exists at, or before, the moment of exposure of the negative. ~ Ansel Adams
一張照片不是一次偶然,而是一次創意。創意,就在底片曝光瞬間,或是在那之前。
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept. ~ Ansel Adams
