“A carnival in daylight is an unfinished beast, anyway. Rain makes it a ghost. The wheezing music from the empty, motionless rides in a soggy, rained-out afternoon midway always hit my chest with a sweet ache. The colored dance of lights in the seeping air flashed the puddles in the sawdust with an oily glamour.” LightAirSweetRainEmptyGhostBeastChestsAfternoonAcheGlamourDaylightUnfinishedPuddlesCarnivalsMidwaySawdustWheezing Author:Katherine Dunn
“In my photographic work I'm generally attracted to places that contain memories, history, atmospheres and stories. I'm interested in the places where people have lived, worked and played. I look for traces of the past, visual fingerprints, evidence of activities - they fire my imagination and connect into my own personal experiences. Using the analogy of the theater, I would say that I like to photograph the empty stage, before or after the performance, even in between acts. I love the atmosphere of anticipation, the feeling in the air that events have happened, or will happen soon.” PeopleLooksStoriesFeelingsHappensPastImaginationMemoriesMy OwnFireHappenedAirStageEventsActivityEvidenceEmptyPerformancesTheaterPhotographerPhotographAtmosphereVisualsAnticipationMy ImaginationAnalogiesPersonal ExperiencesFingerprintsEmpty Stage Author:Michael Kenna

“I found myself face to face with a long line of people resembling extras off the set of Night of the Living Dead: shuffling along, pale and twitching, empty cups in hand -- murderous. Miserable. No matter that the air was rich with vapors of fresh-ground beans and warm muffins; no matter that the soft piped-in Vivaldi poured over us like steamed milk. These angry zombies were rushing to work, and their eyes flashed fair warning: Don't mess with us. We haven't had our coffee.” PeopleLongMatterHandsEyeFacesNightFoundLinesRichAirHavensFairsEmptyAngryWarmCoffeeCupsMessMiserableExtrasWarningMilkPaleZombieFace To FaceBeansRushingVaporLong LinesMuffinsShufflingTwitchingEmpty CupVivaldiNight Of The Living Dead Author:Joan Frank

“The first joke I got on the air I remember clearly. Dennis McNicholas and Robert Carlock wrote a sketch where they were evacuating the Titanic, and the last two guys on the entire ship were the two black guys, Samuel L. Jackson and Tracy Morgan. So Will Ferrell was running back and forth, saying, "All first-class passengers get in the lifeboat. All second-class passengers and third-class passengers get in the lifeboat. Let's get all the animals in the lifeboat. Let's put all the empty luggage in the lifeboat."” FirstsTwoRunningLastsRememberGuyBlackAnimalClassAirJokesEmptyThirdsShipsBack And ForthPassengersFirst ClassLuggageTwo GuysRunning BackLifeboatsTracyBlack GuysSamuel L Jackson Author:Michael Schur
“While the poet wrestles with the horses on his brain and the sculptor wounds his eyes on the hard spark of alabaster, the dancer battles the air around her, air that threatens at any moment to destroy her harmony or to open huge open empty spaces where her rhythm will be annihilated.” HardMomentsEyeSpaceBrainAirPoetHugeBattleEmptyHorseHarmonyWoundsRhythmHis EyesDancerSparksSculptorsEmpty Space Author:Federico Garcia Lorca
