Photography is an investigation of both
the outer and the inner worlds.
...The first experiences with the camera involve
looking at the world beyond the lens,
trusting the instrument
will 'capture' something 'seen.'
The terms shoot and take are not accidental;
they represent an attitude
of conquest and appropriation.
Only when the photographer grows into perception
and creative impulse
does the term
define a condition of empathy
between the external and the internal events.
-Ansel Adams
