“Sometimes the most interesting visual phenomena occur when you least expect it. Other times, you think youre getting something amazing and the photographs turn out to be boring and predictable. So I think thats why, a long time ago, I consciously tried to let go of artists angst, and instead just hope for the best and enjoy it. I love the journey as much as the destination. If I wasnt a photographer, Id still be a traveler.” IfsThinkingLongStillsSometimesArtistTurnsEnjoyInterestingJourneyLetting GoLong TimePhotographerPhotographBoringVisualsDestinationTravelerLong Time AgoMost InterestingPredictableAngstHoping For The Best Author:Michael Kenna

“Country music as we know it would be vastly different if it weren't for George Jones. He's in our musical DNA.

“I am obsessed by the idea of silence. I went through an entire library studying art, artists and their critics, philosophers, too, on the meaning and significance of the color white. I dreamed of white birds and white bears. I thought about the white pages of my mother's journals. I became enthralled with John Cage and his work, 4'33”, his masterpiece of ambient sound. Rauschenberg, too. And then at some point I let go. What sticks to the soul is what gets placed on the page. Maybe that's the unknown part, the mystery, the power of the empty page.” ArtIdeasSoulMotherArtistSoundWhiteSilenceStudyMysteryColorBearsLetting GoPagesBirdEmptySticksCriticsLibraryPhilosopherObsessedSignificanceJournalCagesMasterpieceAmbientColor WhiteStudying ArtWhite Birds Author:Terry Tempest Williams

“As an artist, I think it's critical for keeping yourself alive that you try to get your hands into something a little bit more intensely. It's one of the reasons why I love theater because you never actually let go of it and it never feels like there's a tremendous distance between the process and the product.” ThinkingFeelsTryingLittlesReasonHandsArtistBitsProcessAliveProductsLetting GoLittle BitTheaterDistanceCriticalReason Why Author:Maggie Siff

“Clearly the hardest thing for the working artist is to create his own conception and follow it, unafraid of the strictures it imposes, however rigid these may be... I see it as the clearest evidence of genius when an artist follows his conception, his idea, his principle, so unswervingly that he has this truth of his constantly in his control, never letting go of it even for the sake of his own enjoyment of his work.” MayIdeasArtistPrinciplesGeniusLetting GoEvidenceSakeHardestEnjoymentConceptionHardest ThingUnafraidNever Let Go Author:Andrei Tarkovsky
“The experience of being in between-between the time we leave home and arrive at our destination; between the time we leave adolescence and arrive at adulthood; between the time we leave doubt and arrive at faith. It is like the time when a trapeze artist lets go the bars and hangs in midair, ready to catch another support: it is a time of danger, of expectation, of uncertainty, of excitement, or extraordinary aliveness.” HomeArtistSupportDoubtDangerReadyLetting GoExpectationsExtraordinaryBarsUncertaintyExcitementDestinationAdulthoodAdolescenceTrapezeTrapeze Artists Author:Paul Tournier
