“Photography is a medium of formidable contradictions. It is both ridiculously easy and almost impossibly difficult. It is easy because its technical rudiments can readily be mastered by anyonwith a few simple instructions. It is difficult because, while while the artist working in any other medium begins with a blank surface and gradually brings his conception into being, the photographer is the only imagemaker who begins with the picture completed. His emotions, his knowledge, and his native talent are brought into focus and fixed beyond recall the moment the shutter of his camera has closed.” MomentsArtistEasyDifficultSimpleEmotionFocusTalentPhotographyCamerasPhotographerSurfaceMediumsFixedNativeContradictionConceptionInstructionRecallsBlankFormidableShutters Author:Edward Steichen

“I'm not someone who enjoys long talks, long rehearsals. I'm very technical: I tell my actors, you come in, you sit down, you pick up a coffee, you look here, you say the line.

It's very simple.” IfsTryingLooksLongDoeActorsEnjoyLinesSimplePicksCamerasCoffeeRollingRehearsal Author:Michael Haneke
“I definitely prefer the single camera better. For me it's the simple fact that I enjoy working in front of an audience, but when you're trying to create a suspension of disbelief it's much harder to do in front of audience because they become a partner. Moreso than that, they become in charge of the timing. From the simple, mechanical fact that you have to hold for their laughter. The actual timing of the scene is in the hands of the audience. As a control freak, I don't enjoy that as much as the ability to be able to control it in an edit room.” TryingFactsHandsAbleEnjoySimpleAbilityRoomsAudienceFrontsSceneLaughterHarderCamerasPartnersFreakTimingDisbeliefEditsSuspensionControl FreakSuspension Of Disbelief Author:Jonathan Groff
