“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 sometimes say the conflict in the work is the conflict of my own thoughts and anxieties. It's a civil war in my head. The top part [of my artwork] is you letting go and floating. You become part of the air and you've tapped into the heartbeat of the universe. I guess that's what people do when they meditate.” PeopleHeartWarSometimesUniverseMy OwnAirConflictLetting GoAnxietyCivil WarFloatingHeartbeatArtwork Author:Ali Banisadr
“With respect to duels, indeed, I have my own ideas. Few things in this so surprising world strike me with more surprise. Two little visual spectra of men, hovering with insecure enough cohesion in the midst of the unfathomable, and to dissolve therein, at any rate, very soon, make pause at the distance of twelve paces asunder; whirl around, and simultaneously by the cunningest mechanism, explode one another into dissolution; and, offhand, become air, and non-extant--the little spitfires!” MenWorldLittlesTwoIdeasEnoughMy OwnAirDistanceSurpriseRateStrikesVisualsMidstPaceMechanismSurprisingTwelvePausesInsecureDissolutionUnfathomableCohesionHoveringDueling Book:Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdrockh Source: Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdrockh
“I did not know much history when I became a bombardier in the U.S. Air Force in World War II. Only after the War did I see that we, like the Nazis, had committed atrocities... Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, my own bombing missions. And when I studied history after the War, I learned from reading on my own, not from my university classes, about the history of U.S. expansion and imperialism.” KnowsWorldWarReadingForceMy OwnClassAirUniversityCommittedMissionsWar Of The WorldsWorld War IiWorld War IExpansionNaziImperialismBombingAtrocitiesAir ForceHiroshimaDresden Author:Howard Zinn
“When envy lies within a woman's heart it cuts into her soul & gives her a toxic spirit. It is truly something to be disgusted by. I have experienced it so much in my own life that I can sense the energy of envy without any communication from the other person. It lingers in the air to pollute your environment. Envy is a brutal force of bad vibes sucking the love right out of your heart.” GivingHeartPersonsI CanSoulSpiritLyingEnergyForceMy OwnEnvironmentCuttingAirCommunicationEnvyToxicBrutalOur EnvironmentMy Own LifeDisgustedVibesBad Vibes Author:Bindu
“Failure of success is not race-related; it's not socioeconomics-related; it is really predictable, based on principles that are laid down by God the Creator by which we are supposed to function.
