“They took 3-D digital photographs of my entire body. I had to pose stark naked, assuming a kind of Spider-Man position. After a minute, one of the technicians pointed to my genitals and said, Um, we're not getting enough data there ... It wasn't what you think. It turns out that the fancy digital camera doesn't pick up dark areas too well, and they were having trouble because of the hair down there. I actually had to spray on this highlighter stuff.

“I never shot on sets, but if I was traveling somewhere or on location, I would always have my camera, and I'd always be - it's that kind of fly on the wall approach to photography, though. I don't engage the subject. I like to sneak around, skulk about in the dark.” IfsKindDarkSubjectsWallApproachPhotographyShotsCamerasLocationSneak Author:Jessica Lange

“Maybe the only thing each of us can see is our own shadow. Carl Jung called this his shadow work. He said we never see others. Instead we see only aspects of ourselves that fall over them. Shadows. Projections. Our associations. The same way old painters would sit in a tiny dark room and trace the image of what stood outside a tiny window, in the bright sunlight. The camera obscura. Not the exact image, but everything reversed or upside down.” WaySaidFallDarkRoomsShadowAspectWindowCamerasTinyPainterAssociationSunlightProjectionUpside DownJungDark RoomShadow WorkCamera Obscura Author:Chuck Palahniuk
“Everything looks stark and vivid and frozen, as though drawn precisely and outlined in ink - parents' smiles frozen, camera flashes blinding, mouths open and white teeth glinstening, dark glossy hair and deep blue sky and unrelenting light, everyone drowning in light - everything so clear and perfect I'm sure it must already be a memory, or a dream.” LooksDreamLightParentMemoriesDarkWhitePerfectClearSkyHairMouthsCamerasBlueTeethFlashFrozenInkVividDrowningStarksBlue SkyUnrelentingWhite Teeth Author:Lauren Oliver
