“If the breaking news event has something to do with young people, specifically with MTV's audience, there was a higher chance that I would actually go cover it with a television camera instead of just write the story myself and read it on the air.” PeopleIfsWritingStoriesYoungChanceAudienceAirEventsTelevisionHigherNewsCamerasMtvBreaking News Author:Tabitha Soren
“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
“It's great to get insight into the era of 80's rock-n-roll via a treasure trove of photographs skillfully captured in front of Mark Weiss' camera lens.

“The camera has an uncanny ability to capture the world as it is, to seize events as they happen, and also to conjure visions of the future. But by the time the image reaches the eyes of the viewer, it belongs to the past, taking on the status of something retrieved.” WorldHappensEyePastAbilityVisionEventsCamerasCaptureViewersUncannyVisions Of The Future Author:A.

“Leading up to a live event you need to do your homework and go to bed early. Sometimes it's very tempting to go out with everybody else, They're all going to a party or going out for a nice meal and you think 'oh well I'd like to go', but sometimes you think 'no, if I'm going to be sitting in front of a camera under a light in everybody's home tomorrow I don't want big bags under my eyes and not really know what I'm talking about'.” IfsThinkingKnowsWantNeedsWellsSometimesHomeBigsLightEyePartyTalkingNiceFrontsEventsTomorrowBedSittingCamerasMealsBagsGoing OutHomeworkTemptingOh Well Author:Jill Douglas
“I want every scene to feel electric and I try to finish the filming period with a clear trajectory: a beginning, a middle, and hopefully an end.I hate "fly on the wall." It infers that I don't relate to the people we're with and that I don't get affected by events. I like it when people talk to me. I never say things like "Don't look at the camera" - how bossy!” PeopleWantFeelsTryingLooksEndsHateClearMiddleEventsWallPeriodsSceneI HateCamerasHopefullyRelateAffectedElectricTalk To MeTrajectoryBossy Author:Kim Longinotto
“Our very sense of situation is now articulated by the camera's interventions. The omnipresence of cameras persuasively suggests that time consists of interesting events, events worth photographing. This, in turn, makes it easy to feel that any event, once underway, and whatever its moral character, should be allowed to complete itself - so that something else can be brought into the world, the photograph.” WorldFeelsShouldCharacterTurnsEasyInterestingSituationMoralEventsCamerasPhotographInterventionMoral Character Book:On photography Source: On photography
“Some people's lives seem to flow in a narrative; mine had many stops and starts. That's what trauma does. It interrupts the plot. You can't process it because it doesn't fit with what came before or what comes afterward. A friend of mine, a soldier, put it this way. In most of our lives, most of the time, you have a sense of what is to come. There is a steady narrative, a feeling of "lights, camera, action" when big events are imminent. But trauma isn't like that. It just happens, and then life goes on. No one prepares you for it.” PeopleWayDoeFeelingsBigsLightSeemsHappensActionProcessOur LivesEventsMinesGoes OnFitFlowCamerasSoldierTraumaNarrativePlotSteadyLife Goes OnBig Events Author:Jessica Stern
“I was on the yearbook staff, so I would take out film cameras and Nikons and take photos around school and at sporting events and things like that. We had a darkroom as well. I just loved it.
