Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” — Ansel Adams
(Now THAT ^^^^^ is knowing where to stand! Kinda like the old acting advice: just hit your marks and deliver your lines. Spencer Tracy put it this way: “Know your lines and don’t bump into the furniture.” All the pros just emphasize the basics. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.” — Ansel Adams
(Do you think he meant every NEW – or maybe EACH instead of every – experience, because everything we do – even if we do it routinely – is an experience, isn’t it? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Not everybody trusts paintings, but people believe photographs.” — Ansel Adams
(Ahh! The relative innocence of a new technology/art form. Old Ansel was – after all is said and done – a commercial artist. He must have made this statement without the idea of trick photography and special/optical effects. With green-screen and computer programs they can make anything seem real. Governments rely on the majority of their people adhering to the old adage: Seeing is believing. In reality, the only things we can truly believe – beyond a shadow of a doubt – are things that we see live, and not on film or video. If you never saw it, I highly recommend watching the 1997 feature film Wag the Dog. It’s got a great cast, it’s a good story, and it shows what governments can do when they want to frame a story. Be well, do good . . . and take everything you think you’re seeing with a grain of salt, friends.) — YUR
