Composition & Performance

The negative is comparable to the composer's

score and the print to its performance. Each

performance differs in subtle ways. ~Ansel Adams

We must remember that a photograph 

can hold just as much as we put into it, and

no one has ever approached the full 

possibilities of the medium. ~Ansel Adams

Creatively Confident

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 and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit. ~Ansel Adams

Intuition is the wisdom formed by feeling

and instinct - a gift of knowing without

reasoning... Belief is  ignited by hope and

supported by facts and evidence - it builds

alignment and creates confidence. Belief is

what sets energy in motion and creates

success that breeds more success. ~Angela Ahrendts

Philosophical Collaboration

Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy

requires art. Otherwise, what would 

become of beauty? ~Paul Gauguin

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. ~Andre Gide

Dreaming

To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan... believe... act! ~Alfred A. Montapert

All successful people, men and women, are

big dreamers. They imagine what their 

future could be, ideal in every respect, and

then they work every day toward their

distant vision, that goal or purpose. ~Brian Tracy

Memoirs & Moments

The moments of happiness we enjoy take us

by surprise. It is not that we seize them, 

but that they seize us. ~Ashley Montagu

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world. ~John Milton
