“The g-forces increased and I wasn't able to continue to hold the camera against the window, so I had to lay it back against my chest, but still continued to photograph the re-entry until there was no more unusual visual effects of the energy in the atmosphere. And it was very comforting to understand that the people in Houston, the controllers, had very high confidence that we were on the right path.” PeopleStillsAbleEnergyForcePathEffectsWindowCamerasLaysPhotographAtmosphereVisualsChestsUnusualComfortingEntryRight PathHoustonControllersVisual EffectsRe EntryG Force Author:Buzz Aldrin

“I always wondered, you know I watch "Cops" all the time - why doesn't a drug dealer design a trap door under their car? 'Cause cops don't have cameras under the cars, they get you for throwing stuff out the window! If you got a trap door under your car, boom! You would run over it.

“The script is a starting point, not a fixed highway. I must look through the camera to see if what I've written on the page is right or not. In the script, you describe imagined scenes, but it's all suspended in mid-air. Often, an actor viewed against a wall or a landscape, or seen through a window, is much more eloquent than the lines you've given him. So then you take out the lines. This happens often to me and I end up saying what I want with a movement or a gesture.” IfsWantLooksEndsHappensActorsGivenLinesWrittenAirMovementWallScenePagesWindowCamerasStartingScriptsLandscapeFixedGesturesHighwaysEloquentStarting PointSuspended Author:Michelangelo Antonioni
“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

“When I look out [the window] at the big houses on either side of the road, it's obvious we've entered the rich side of town. Poor people don't post signs like NO TRESPASSING, PRIVATE DRIVE, PRIVATE PROPERTY, MONITORED BY CAMERA SURVEILLANCE. I should know because I've been poor my entire life, and the only person I know who ever posted a sign like these is my friend...and he actually stole the sign off a rich guy's yard.” PeopleKnowsShouldLooksPersonsBigsGuyHouseSidesPoorRichMy FriendsWindowTownsCamerasPropertyObviousPostsYardsPoor PeopleSurveillancePrivate PropertyBig HousesTrespassingSigning Off Author:Simone Elkeles
“A saucer flew right over (us), put down three landing gears, and landed out on the dry lakebed. (The cameramen) went out there with their cameras toward the UFO....

“To me photography can be simultaneously both a record and a mirror or window of self-expression the camera is generally assumed to be unable to depict that which is not visible to the eye and yet, the photographer who wields it well can depict what lies unseen in his memory.” WellsSelfEyeLyingMemoriesRecordsExpressionPhotographyWindowMirrorsCamerasPhotographerVisibleUnseenSelf Expression Author:Eikoh Hosoe
“Filmmaking isn’t if you can just strap on a camera onto an actor, and steadicam, and point it at their face, and follow them through the movie, that is not what moviemaking is, that is not what it’s about. It’s not just about getting a performance. It’s also about the psychology of the cinematic moment, and the psychology of the presentation of that, of that window.” IfsMomentsFacesActorsPsychologyWindowPerformancesCamerasFilmmakingPresentationCinematic Author:David Fincher
