color shapes size
Words are objects of a color and a size and a form and a shape.
airplane black-and-white color
I shoot in black and white, sometimes color, sometimes if it looks good I shoot out the window of the airplanes or whatever, anything that - sometimes I secretly take secret photos, shoot video of people on the plane if it's not too crowded. I don't know, whatever comes up.
black-and-white white color
I like contrasting between black and white and color.
wall thinking color
I think words speak to us even though they may be written on a wall. So we hear them in our mind. We say it to ourselves. But they are also visual things. You draw them. They are designed. They are colored. They have a certain size. I put them in a certain place. So they are objects that have to be - artistic decisions have to be made in terms of the color and the size and the line and whatever.
art thinking color
People who look at art don't really - don't go with the artist. They don't sort of accept what he or she has done and kind of go with it. There are always - either there's too much color or not enough color, either it's not conceptual enough or it's too conceptual. In other words, most criticism isn't what the viewer expected that it would do based on what they think you have done and that's good as far as I'm concerned.

These savings are a clear positive, but retiree liability cuts are likely to see some almost immediate offsets, from ongoing health care inflation, possible Delphi liability assumption and falling long-term rates.

Another deal with Delphi is likely forthcoming, but probably not before Mar. 30, posing risk of Delphi motions (to nullify contracts) and starting the union contract cancellation process.
auto comments general geneva necessary next process rush sale sell suggest today
Comments today at the Geneva auto show that General Motors is in no rush to sell GMAC, and that a sale is not necessary before next year, suggest the sale process has stalled.
challenges change given likely longer management move north occur plan prospects require severe term time turnaround
We think such a move would not occur if prospects for traction on the turnaround plan were tighter. The management change comes at an inopportune time given the challenges ... and severe stresses on the North American business, some of which will likely require longer term attention.
bank chapter concern equity factors filing imminent line primary
We think one of the primary factors weighing on the company's equity has been concern about the Chapter 11 filing. We think the new bank line makes an imminent filing very unlikely.
buyer doubt envision front gets gm harder march north risk sale second sometime strike tend wire
We doubt a buyer gets in front of risk that a strike cripples GM North America. UAW negotiations tend to go down to the wire -- now March 31 -- so a GMAC sale is harder to envision before sometime in the second quarter.
cars cost driver higher improvement key north performance possibly
We think better cost performance was a key driver of the improvement in North American and possibly higher profitability on cars than we had anticipated.
consumer fleet growing hurt increasing large likely pressure pricing risk spending weaker
Growing fleet sales, increasing competitive pressure in large pickups and escalating risk of weaker consumer spending is likely to hurt pricing and revenue.
caution costs given interest pricing rising
Caution is warranted given uncertainty about the consumer, rising interest rates, raw-material costs and pricing pressure.
