pennies cameras film
A neighborhood friend showed me how it was possible to go to a camera shop and pick up chemicals for pennies... literally... and develop your own film and make prints.
character intelligent past
I don't have a preference for bad people, no. I have an interest in playing a broad range of characters. Obviously, I'm mostly identified with a character who is very responsible, very solid and very intelligent, but there are plenty of questionable characters in my past career. I'm interested in exploring theatricality and characters with some dimension.
inspiration emotional people
Some words having to do with the death of the people in the World Trade Center attack had been added, and when I got to it, I had this overwhelmingly emotional experience. I struggled to get through the words; tears were streaming down my cheeks.
wrath needs logic
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
thinking matter exploration
I'm attracted to images that come from a personal exploration of a subject matter. When they have a personal stamp to them, then I think it becomes identifiable.
fall hands space
If you are walking down the street, camera in your hand, loaded and ready to shoot. You see a person falling from a high building, either having fallen or jumped. That person is falling through space. You don't shoot that photograph unless the theme you are working on has to do with the effects of space on the human figure. If you simply photograph that event because it is an event that is happening, you're doing photojournalism.
facts mr-spock danger
Insufficient facts always invite danger.
moving future space
I predict the future of this earthly human race is that having made a mess of Earth they'll move to outer space.
nurture pursue
Find out what it is that touches you most deeply. Pursue it, learn about it, explore it, expand on it. Live with it and nurture it.
forever together
Whatever we are we belong together. Wherever we are, we will find each other. Whoever we are we are forever one.
free-yourself i-know-the-truth knows
I know where Im going, and I know where Ive been.
simple eyebrows looks
The camera can capture thought in a way that's quite surprising and shocking. You can become very simple and minimal in your work and communicate a lot with just a finger or an eyebrow, or a look, or a glance.
wish different done
How many times have we come away from an argument wishing we had said and done something different?
giving miracle charity
The miracle is this - the more you give, the more you have.
