“What we hope for from the artist is help in discovering the significance of a place. In this sense we would choose in most respects for thirty minutes with Edward Hopper’s painting Sunday Morning to thirty minutes on the street that was his subject; with Hopper’s vision we see more.” HelpingArtistVisionMorningStreetsMinutesSubjectsPaintingPhotographerThirtySundaySignificanceDiscoveringSunday Morning Author:Robert Adams

“Certainly, for a newspaper director, to have within arm's reach a Travaglio, about whom every starring actor, supporting cast and extra of Italian political life he is ready upon cold request to provide an inquiry brief refined in the most minute details is a nice comfort.

“Dress has never been at all a straightforward business: so much subterranean interest and complex feeling attaches to it. As a topic ... it has a flowery head but deep roots in the passion. On the subject of dress almost no one, for one or another reason, feels truly indifferent: if their own clothes do not concern them, somebody else's do. ... Ten minutes talk about clothes (except between perfect friends) tends to make everyone present either overbearing, guarded or touchy.” IfsFeelsReasonFeelingsPassionInterestPerfectMinutesSubjectsTenClothesConcernRootsDressesComplexesIndifferentTopicsStraightforwardGuardedTouchyOverbearingDeep Roots Author:Elizabeth Bowen

“So many of the properties of matter, especially when in the gaseous form, can be deduced from the hypothesis that their minute parts are in rapid motion, the velocity increasing with the temperature, that the precise nature of this motion becomes a subject of rational curiosity. Daniel Bernoulli, Herapath, Joule, Kronig, Clausius, &c., have shewn that the relations between pressure, temperature and density in a perfect gas can be explained by supposing the particles move with uniform velocity in straight lines, striking against the sides of the containing vessel and thus producing pressure.” MatterMovingFormSidesLinesPerfectMinutesSubjectsRelationPressurePropertyCuriosityRationalGasUniformsPreciseHypothesisVesselRapidsParticlesTemperatureStraight LinesContainingVelocityDensitySupposingProperties Of Matter Author:James Clerk Maxwell

“A lot of the challenge and the reason for the success of those one-shot photographers is that their pictures almost have to be subject proof.
