"To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things...Art, said Alfred Stieglitz, is the affirmation of life. And life, or its eternal evidence, is everywhere...Expressions without doctrine, my photographs are presented here as ends in themselves, images of the end-less moments of the world. I dedicate them to the memory and to the spirit of Alfred Stieglitz." - Ansel Adams
