“I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term—meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching—there would be a vast improvement in total output.

—Ansel Adams (1902–1984)
“Consider first the nature of the business in hand; then examine thy own nature, whether thou hast strength to undertake it.”
