photography art records
Art does not in fact prove anything. What it does do is record one of those brief times, such as we each have and then each forget, when we are allowed to understand that the Creation is whole.
artist trying records
Part of the difficulty in trying to be both an artist and a businessperson is this: You make a picture because you have seen something beyond price; then you are to turn and assign to your record of it a cash value. If the selling is not necessarily a contradiction of the truth in the picture, it is so close to being a contradiction—and the truth is always in shades of gray-that you are worn down by the threat.
photography faithful records
...I felt that photography ought to start with and remain faithful to the appearance of the world, and in so doing record contradictions. The greatest pictures would then... find wholeness in the torn world.
support records world
I began making pictures because I wanted to record what supports hope: the untranslatable mystery and beauty of the world. Along the way, however, the camera also caught evidence against hope, and I eventually concluded that this, too, belonged in pictures if they were to be truthful and thus useful.

That local hospital isn't a stroke center, but we have one here, and we have a telemedicine connection.
break care close destined diplomacy extinct global happens harmonize humans modern outer possibilities promote reaches
We, humans are destined to go extinct or come close to diminishing. We break those who care about ideals, and promote the destruction of modern society. We harmonize domination, and scrutinize diplomacy and peace. In the end, we don't care about the outer reaches and global possibilities of happiness, we just care about what happens to ourselves.
increasing itself kids means
What's really increasing more than anything is that we're getting more kids to take the SAT. That in and of itself means more kids are considering post-secondary education, which is tremendous. That's what they need to do.
friendship point
There is no point in international friendship when the world doesn't care.
accept building continued countries industries industry looked refused reliable shove throats vehicles
They refused to accept change. While automotive industries in other countries were building smaller, safer, more fuel-efficient and reliable vehicles, the American automotive industry looked the other way and continued to shove oversized, gas-guzzling vehicles down the throats of consumers.
