agent change face future government immediate less social time
Let's face it: we live at a time when government is less and less powerful, less and less effective, and the agent of social change, at least for the immediate future, is the corporation.
model society tries
We live in a society and a culture and an economic model that tries to make everything look right.
kids years
I like being a 10-year-old kid who's in charge.
nice moving looks
Good designers are no longer satisfied in taking the manuscript from someone and making it look nice. One of the things that I've tried to do is move from being a designer to a content provider.
isms use contrary
I use contrary-ism in every part of my life.
photography believe being-true
I believe that this whole question of some photography being true and some untrue is a non-question. Photography is not objective; it never was objective.
real communication ideas
Some people... cling to the idea that the photograph is an inherently real or honest image and as such is always on a different plane from an obviously subjective form of visual communication such as painting.
culture contradiction term
Consumer culture is contradiction in terms
important way edits
Edits are very important to me - they're the way in which I work on everything.
stars color want
If someone is going to permit me to make a publication that is politically and culturally progressive and not tell me to put their favorite movie stars on the cover, if I get to do what I want in an honest way - as I did in the beginning at 'Colors' - then I'm going to do it.
stories use
I'm not as good a writer as I'd like to be; therefore, I like to use images to tell stories.
knowing
To me, nothing is more vibrant than having the power to do something but not having the experience of knowing what's right and what's wrong.
children reality understanding-knowledge
Your children will smash your understanding, knowledge and reality. You will be better off. Then they will leave. You'll miss them forever.
flying planes unpredictability
We don't talk about planes flying. We talk about them crashing.
