“3D is very exciting. I love it. I'm a complete convert. Everything for me, from now on, is 3D. I'm completely convinced it's the future of home entertainment, as well as cinema entertainment. I think it's a paradigm shift, in terms of cinema, and those things don't happen very often. The introduction of sound, the introduction of color photography and now 3D have been the big shifts. They happen once every 40 or 50 years, so it's very exciting to be a filmmaker, working while one of them is happening.” ThinkingYearsWellsHas BeensHomeBigsHappensSoundTermColorPhotographyHappeningsExcitingEntertainmentConvincedCinemaFilmmakerIntroductionParadigmParadigm ShiftColor Photography Author:Paul W.

“Art photography, although long since legitimized by all the conventional discourses of fine art, seems destined perpetually to recapitulate all the rituals of the arriviste. Inasmuch as one of those rituals consists of the establishment of suitable ancestry, a search for distinguished bloodlines, it inevitably happens that photographic history and criticism are more concern with notions of tradition and continuity than with those of rupture and change.” LongArtSeemsHappensFinePhotographyConcernTraditionCriticismNotionRitualEstablishmentConventionalDiscourseDestinedDistinguishedContinuitySuitableFine ArtsAncestryRuptureArt PhotographyBloodline Author:Abigail Solomon-Godeau
“'Ornithologists concluded that migratory birds take hundreds of naps as they fly; they also practice unilateral eye closure, in which one eye closes, thereby permitting half the brain to sleep.'
