“Making information free is survivable so long as only limited numbers of people are disenfranchised. As much as it pains me to say so, we can survive if we only destroy the middle classes of musicians, journalists, and photographers. What is not survivable is the additional destruction of the middle classes in transportation, manufacturing, energy, office work, education, and health care. And all that destruction will come surely enough if the dominant idea of an information economy isn't improved.” PeopleIfsLongIdeasEnoughCarePainEnergyNumbersClassEconomyMiddleInformationOfficeMusicianDestructionPhotographerHealth CareJournalistMiddle ClassDominantManufacturingTransportationDisenfranchisedOffice Work Book:Who Owns the Future?

“I want to make a picture that could stand on its own, regardless of what it was a picture of.

“You become things, you become an atmosphere, and if you become it, which means you incorporate it within you, you can also give it back. You can put this feeling into a picture. A painter can do it. And a musician can do it and I think a photographer can do that too and that I would call the dreaming with open eyes.” IfsThinkingGivingMeanFeelingsDreamEyeCan DoCreativityPhotographyMusicianPhotographerPainterAtmosphereWithin YouOpen Eyes Author:Ernst Haas
“Photography is not easy. You know it takes a painter or a sculpture or a musician years to perfect their technique. Then they're free to make an expression in a matter of moments. It takes moments for a photographer to perfect his technique. And then it takes years for him to make it into something that is truly creative and worthwhile.” KnowsYearsMatterMomentsEasyPerfectCreativeExpressionPhotographyMusicianPhotographerTechniquePainterWorthwhileSculpture Author:Paul Caponigro
“At birth we begin to discover that shapes, sounds, lights, and textures have meaning. Long before we learn to talk, sounds and images form the world we live in. All our lives, that world is more immediate than words and difficult to articulate. Photography, reflecting those images with uncanny accuracy, evokes their associations and our instant conviction. The art of the photographer lies in using those connotations, as a poet uses the connotations of words and a musician the tonal connotations of sounds.” WorldLongArtUseLightFormLyingDifficultSoundOur LivesPoetBirthShapesPhotographyMusicianPhotographerConvictionInstantAssociationReflectingTextureAccuracyEvokeConnotationUncanny Author:Nancy Newhall
“The only way that Hollywood ever skews toward liberal is because part of what we make out of Hollywood involves writers, actors, directors, musicians, set designers, and photographers.

“I wasn't really that good at being a musician. And then I tried being a standup. I was an actor. I was a photographer. I tried everything. Nothing was particularly working for me, but then, as a musician, I wrote jokes for comics. And they started to buy my jokes, and that's where I thought maybe that might work.” MightActorsMusicianJokesPhotographer Author:Garry Marshall
“I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theater. Just having the art-communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn't a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression. We didn't try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth.” PeopleTryingKindChildrenArtArtistGrowthLinesCreativeClearExpressionMusicianTheaterRaisedPhotographerPainterHippieCreative Expression Author:Jared Leto
