Photography doesn’t end when the shutter clicks. That’s just the handoff. The real work happens in the mind—where memory, emotion, and imagination shape what the image becomes. As Ansel Adams put it best: “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” And he was right. A photograph isn’t just captured—it’s built, refined, and finished long after the moment passes. The camera records the scene. The artist completes the vision. #highonthemountainphotography | High On The Mountain Photography
