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”

Perfil, llum, pensament, mirada...
M'encanta la cita que has posat per acompanyar la foto, és importantíssim no parar de somiar, és el motor de la vida, de les il.lusions, de tot! Sense els somnis què seria de nosaltres?

Bella! una il·luminació maquissima
els somnis són el motor....
tot i que la imatge em suggereix més que esta recordant (enfocant-se al passant) que no que estigui somiant, creant, projectant (enfocant-se al futur)...
Un Pto!
