“Humans have changed the landscape so much, but images of the sea could be shared with primordial people. I just project my imagination on to the viewer, even the first human being. I think first and then imagine some scenes. Then I go out and look for them. Or I re-create these images with my camera. I love photography because photography is the most believable medium.

“One of the most useful parts of my education as a writer was the practice of reading a writer straight through - every book the writer published, in chronological order, to see how the writer changed over time, and to see how the writer's idea of his or her project changed over time, and to see all the writer tried and accomplished or failed to accomplish.” BookIdeasOrderReadingPracticeChangedProjectsAccomplishAccomplished Author:Kyle Minor
“When I was younger, I thought, 'Ok, I'm supposed to do this project because it'll help my career,' but that didn't work because I ended up doing movies that I worked really hard on but I didn't really like and they didn't turn out well, so it was like I lost double. Once I just started working with people and projects I believed in, everything changed and I suddenly had a career that I loved and that I was proud of.” PeopleWellsHardHelpingTurnsLostCareersChangedProudProjects Author:James Franco
“In 1982 I bought the newly released Makina Plaubel 55mm fixed-lens camera. With this shift from 35mm to 6 x 7, I also changed from black and white to color.

“Basically what Salomé did with Rilke as a mentor was direct him toward the Russian Orthodox Church, so he could project his love of the divine feminine onto the Virgin Mary. She wanted him to stop the cycle of being disappointed by the ultimate humanity of women. She was like, "You don't want me, you want the Virgin Mary." It's kind of a mystical concept! She also changed Freud's opinion, a little bit too late, about the female psyche, which he had so wrong. If it had been better publicized, it would have changed Western society's perception of the female psyche, too.” IfsWantKindLittlesWantedHumanityBitsChurchOpinionChangedDivineLike YouProjectsLatePerceptionLittle BitConceptsFemaleDirectUltimateWesternToo LateCyclesOrthodoxFeminineDisappointedWant MeMaryMentorMysticalVirginsHis LoveVirgin MaryDivine FeminineWestern SocietyBeing DisappointedOrthodox Church Author:Laura Marling
