“I was brought up Catholic and we show my mom, my mother, my sister and then I take pains to explain on camera, that there were years after that where I wasn't really religious. I certainly wasn't a Catholic anymore, but I still lived with some mythical man in my head. I didn't really put a name to a face, but I just knew that if I was in trouble or scared I would go, 'Oh God, please help me get out of this one.'” IfsMenYearsStillsHelpingShowsPainFacesMotherNamesReligiousTroubleMomPleaseCamerasCatholicScaredMy MomHelp MeMy Sister Author:Bill Maher
“People over the age of thirty were born before the digital revolution really started. We've learned to use digital technology-laptops, cameras, personal digital assistants, the Internet-as adults, and it has been something like learning a foreign language. Most of us are okay, and some are even expert. We do e-mails and PowerPoint, surf the Internet, and feel we're at the cutting edge. But compared to most people under thirty and certainly under twenty, we are fumbling amateurs. People of that age were born after the digital revolution began. They learned to speak digital as a mother tongue.” PeopleFeelsHas BeensUseAgeMotherSpeakLanguageBornTechnologyCuttingRevolutionInternetAdultsOkayTwentiesCamerasEdgesTongueThirtyExpertsDigitalMailAssistantsSurfLaptopsForeign LanguageCutting EdgeMother TongueDigital TechnologyPowerpointDigital Revolution Author:Ken Robinson

“My mom had bought this camera to take classes herself and I remember working with her on it, understanding how the stop-motion [worked], having a high shutter speed and things like that. Long before I picked it up myself, I remember being on a slide at a country club going into the water and wanting my mother to put in on a high shutter speed so she could catch me on the slide without it being blurred. I remember having fun with her: "Let me go on the slide and you'll catch me in motion!" Those are some of the little moments in my artistic making.” LittlesLongCountryMomentsRememberMotherFunUnderstandingWaterClassMomGoes OnLet MeCamerasClubsMy MomSpeedArtisticHaving FunSlidesLet Me GoShuttersCatch MeCountry ClubsLittle Moments Author:Jeff Vespa
“The Canon AE1 - a fully manual camera. [My mother] had a 50mm, which is a standard lens, and then I got a 28mm. Then I started a little punk magazine, a zine, when I was 14 or 15 years old. I was shooting my friends skateboarding and it was the beginning of the Macintosh. We wouldn't do layouts on the computer; we would pick the font and then type up a paragraph and then print it out and cut it up and put it in a little mock-up and Xerox it.” YearsLittlesMotherCuttingTypeComputerStandardsPicksMy FriendsCamerasMagazinesShootingPrintPunkLensesMockParagraphManualsCanonSkateboardingMacintoshLayoutFontsXeroxZines Author:Jeff Vespa

“The biggest considerations I had were practical: how do you move such a large number of actors around a small space? So, for example, if I have to have the mother bring a pot of tea from the kitchen to the living room and serve it to the others, how do I, on a practical level, get everyone into the frame? Any decisions I made about the camera angles or movement came out of necessity, versus any sort of stylistic choice.” IfsMadeMovingMotherChoicesActorsSpaceDecisionLevelsRoomsNumbersExampleMovementCamerasPracticalsTeaKitchenConsiderationPotAngleVersusLiving RoomLarge NumbersSmall SpacesCamera Angles Author:Hirokazu Koreeda
