“I've enjoyed photography, ever since I was a teenager, and I'm still at it. I've had shows in various cities, around the country, and I have a number of pieces in permanent collections in museums that I'm very proud of.” StillsCountryShowsNumbersCitiesPiecesProudPhotographyVariousEnjoyedTeenagerPermanentCollectionsMuseums Author:Leonard Nimoy
“Digital information, for every type of storage, is unfounded. If everything is on a hard drive and the hard drive freezes up, your whole photography collection could just go away. We can still look at printed photographs of our grandparents. We can physically hold them in our hands and look at it.” IfsLooksStillsHardWholeHandsInformationTypePhotographyPhotographCollectionsDigitalGoing AwayGrandparentPrintedFreezeStorage Author:Gus Van Sant
“I collect art on a very modest scale. Most of what I have is photography because I just love it and it makes me happy and it looks good in my home. I also have a pretty big collection of art books mainly, again, on photography. A lot of photography monographs, which is great because with photography, the art itself can be reproduced quite well in book form.” WellsLooksArtBookHomeBigsFormPhotographyScalesCollectionsModestMake Me Happy Author:Chris Parnell
“[Photography] allows me to accede to an infra-knowledge; it supplies me with a collection of partial objects and can flatter a certain fetishism of mine: for this 'me' which like knowledge, which nourishes a kind of amorous preference for it. In the same way, I like certain biographical features which, in a writer's life, delight me as much as certain photographs; I have called these features 'biographemes'; Photography has the same relation to History that the biographeme has to biography.” WayKindCertainObjectsMinesPhotographyRelationPhotographDelightFeaturesCollectionsBiographiesPreferenceSuppliesAmorous Author:Roland Barthes
“I was struggling against the flypaper of other arts harnessing film to their own usages, which means essentially as a recording device or within the long historical trap of picture - by which I mean a collection of nameable shapes within a frame. I don't even think still photography, with few exceptions, has made any significant attempt to free itself from that.” ThinkingMeanLongArtMadeStillsFilmStruggleShapesPhotographyHistoricalSignificantCollectionsExceptionDevicesTrapsUsage Author:Stan Brakhage
