Forever Steal My Heart

When words become unclear,
I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate,
I shall be content with silence.
~Ansel Adams

Ever since my sophomore year of high school, I have been an Ansel Adams fan. There's something about black and white photography that I think will forever steal my heart.

A photograph is an instrument of love and revelation
that must see beneath the surfaces
and record the qualities
of nature and humanity
which live in all things.
~Ansel Adams

After going on a photoshoot with my friend Calli, who was an excellent companion and gorgeous model, there must be hundreds of photographs that don't make the mark of what I want. However, Ansel Adams made me smile about that:

Twelve significant photographs
in any one year is a good crop.
