“Photography is, and has been since its conception, a fabulously broad church.

“Fine-art photography is a very small world associated with galleries, museums, and university art programs. It's not like rock music; the products of this world have never been widely seen because the artists are often exploring things that are not already coded in general consciousness. It's not that photographers don't want to be famous, it's just that very few of the views from the edges of culture make the mainstream. Ansel Adams was an exception.” WorldWantArtArtistCultureViewsConsciousnessRocksThis WorldProductsFinePhotographyProgramPhotographerUniversityEdgesExceptionMuseumsMainstreamExploringGalleryFine ArtsRock MusicSmall WorldArt Photography Author:Mark Klett

“There are many innovators hard at work seeking to perfect alternatives to meat, milk, and eggs. These food products will, like computer-generated graphics or photography or sound systems, just keep getting better and better until there is little difference between an animal-based protein and a plant-based one, or farm-produced versus cultured meat. That will make it easy for people to make the kinds of choices that will usher in a world with far less violence.” PeopleWorldKindLittlesHardChoicesEasySoundDifferencesPerfectAnimalViolenceProductsComputerPhotographyPlantSeekingAlternativesMeatGet BetterEggsFarmsMilkVersusProteinInnovatorsSound Systems Author:Wayne Pacelle
