ANSEL ADAMS (1902-1984)
拍品 4 On the long trek from Giant Forest over Kaweah Gap the trail passes Precipice Lake...The Lake was partially frozen and snowbanks rested in the recesses of the cliffs. I was impressed with the solemn beauty of the scene and saw the image quite clearly in my mind.
Many speak of the image as abstract, but I was not conscious of any such definition at the time...For photographic compositions I think in terms of creating configurations out of chaos, rather than following any conventional rules of composition.
