“I smuggled the camera, it was no problem to smuggle the camera there. And I took 60 photos, two films, during the time when there was no one in the control room, in the building.” TwoProblemFilmRoomsBuildingCamerasNo Problem Author:Mordechai Vanunu
“If you are walking down the street, camera in your hand, loaded and ready to shoot. You see a person falling from a high building, either having fallen or jumped. That person is falling through space. You don't shoot that photograph unless the theme you are working on has to do with the effects of space on the human figure. If you simply photograph that event because it is an event that is happening, you're doing photojournalism.” IfsHumansPersonsHandsFallSpaceStreetsEffectsEventsFiguresBuildingReadyWalkingHappeningsCamerasPhotographFallenThemeLoadedPhotojournalism Author:Leonard Nimoy
“There's been a lot of talk about body cameras as a silver bullet or a solution. I think the task force concluded that there is a role for technology to play in building additional trust and accountability, but it's not a panacea, it has to be embedded in a broader change in culture and a legal framework that ensures that people's privacy is respected and that not only police officers but the community themselves feel comfortable with how technologies are being used.” PeopleThinkingFeelsPlayBodyUsedCultureForceChangeCommunityRolesTechnologyBuildingComfortableSolutionsTasksPoliceCamerasPrivacySilverAccountabilityOfficersBulletsFrameworkPolice OfficerEmbeddedPanaceaTask ForcesSilver Bullets Author:Barack Obama
“Every time my cameras go out on a movie, we learn something new and then we take what we learn and we put it into the next generation of the cameras so we're constantly improving.

“I discovered photography completely by chance. My wife is an architect; when we were young and living in Paris, she bought a camera to take pictures of buildings.

“I think a bigger difference with social media is going to be things like the impact Instagram will have for historians. For the longest time, we had no images of the past. And then when we had the advent of the camera, we had a record of the things people chose to photograph, which, for a while, were portraits of your family, a new building we built, or a really big horse. Well now we have images of everything. That will be the biggest difference I think - that we will have a visual record of this reality in a way that will be completely covered.” PeopleThinkingWayWellsBigsRealityPastSocialDifferencesRecordsMediaBuildingBuiltBiggerHorseCamerasImpactPhotographSocial MediaOur FamilyVisualsCoveredHistorianPortraitsInstagramAdvent Author:Chuck Klosterman
“Why does crime happen? Well, you might say that it's because youths don't have jobs. Or you might say that's because the doors of our buildings are not fortified enough. Given some limited funds to spend, you can either create yet another national employment program or you can equip houses with even better cameras, sensors, and locks.” WellsDoeEnoughMightHappensJobsHouseGivenDoorsCrimeYouthBuildingProgramCamerasEmploymentFundLocksSensors Author:Evgeny Morozov
“Abby must have been the one who found the safe house, because Townsend didn't like it. "The building across the street is under construction," he snarled as soon as we'd carried our bags inside. "The elevator has key card access, and I've hacked into the surveillance cameras from every system on the block," Abby argued. "We have a three-hundred-sixty-degree visual." "Excellent." Townsend dropped his bag. "Now the circle can see us from every angle." "Don't mind Agent Townsend, girls," Abby told us. "He's a glass-half-empty kind of spy." "Also known as the good kind," he countered. Abby huffed.” MindKindHas BeensGirlThreeFoundHouseHalfKnownStreetsBuildingKeysSafeDegreesHundredEmptyCamerasGlassesAccessCirclesBlockCardsAgentsExcellentVisualsBagsConstructionSixtyAngleSpySurveillanceElevatorsHackedHalf EmptyAbbyUnder ConstructionSurveillance Cameras Author:Ally Carter
