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 make define a condition of empathy between the external and the internal events (Ansel Adams)

Ansel Adams in 1930 had been training to become a concert pianist while considering a career as a photographer. He decided, after seeing the photographs by Paul Strand, that "the camera, not the piano, would shape [his] destiny". His mother and aunt both pleaded, "Do not give up the piano! The camera cannot express the human soul!" To which Adams replied: "The camera cannot, but the photographer can”

Absence

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires (François de La Rochefoucauld)

Sembla que l'aigua estigui glaçada i la roca s'aguanti sobre el gel... M'agrada molt la suavitat de tot el que no és sòlid contrastant amb la contundència i rugositat del que sí ho és. Molt Bona Edu! Que vas ser allí ja ho veig però, vas disparar a f8? ;)

Totes les paraules que pugui fer servir per expressar el què penso d'aquesta fotografia quedaran curtes, jo crec que és una d'aquelles fotos que mirant-les un queda amb la boca oberta!
FANTÀSTICA!
