“Photography is unlike any other art form. In the other arts there is always a continuous interplay between the artist and his art. He has the painting or sculpture before him. What we have tried to do is to provide a medium for "artistic expression" to anyone with only a reasonable amount of time. By giving him a camera system with which he need only control his selection of focus, composition and lighting, we free him to select the moment and to criticize immediately what he has done. We enable him to see what else he wants to do on the basis of what he has just learned.” WantNeedsGivingArtDoneMomentsFormArtistFocusPaintingExpressionAmountPhotographyBasesCamerasMediumsArtisticReasonableCriticizeCompositionSelectionSculptureSelectLightingArtistic Expression Author:Edwin Land

“Much more than trying to focus on the battlefield of the war, it was the central place that German doctors occupied within Nazism, the omnipotent and insane idea of wanting to generically modify an entire nation. This idea was not on the outskirts of Nazi ideology, it was the heart of movement, that's what intrigued me. Mengele is the most extreme expression of this idea.” TryingHeartIdeasWarNationsFocusMovementExpressionDoctorsExtremesInsaneIdeologyNaziBattlefieldsIntriguedNazismOmnipotent Author:Lucia Puenzo

“I raised the camera, pretended to study a focus which did not include them, and waited and watched closely, sure that I would finally catch the revealing expression, one that would sum it all up, life that is rhythmed by movement but which a stiff image destroys, taking time in cross section, if we do not choose the essential imperceptible fraction of it.” IfsStudyFocusMovementExpressionEssentialsCrossesCamerasRaisedTake TimeSectionsRevealingFractions Author:Julio Cortazar
“I love voice over work. To me, voice over and animation is such an art, because you focus solely on your voice. You do not focus on how to speak, combined with facial expressions, movement, etc. You as the actor need to convey all those things with only your voice.” NeedsArtActorsSpeakVoiceFocusMovementExpressionArt IsEtcAnimationFacialFacial ExpressionVoice Over Author:Atticus Shaffer
“I try to use models at least for the main characters because of the nature of my art.
