“Getting photographs is not the most important thing. For me it's the act of photographing. It's enlightening, therapeutic and satisfying, because the very process forces me to connect with the world. When you make four-hour exposures in the middle of the night, you inevitably slow down and begin to observe and appreciate more what's going on around you. In our fast-paced, modern world, it's a luxury to be able to watch the stars move across the sky.” WorldImportantAbleMovingNightForceStarsProcessHoursWatchesFourSkyModernMiddlePhotographyAppreciateDown AndImportant ThingsPhotographerPhotographLuxurySatisfyingSlow DownExposureModern WorldEnlighteningFast PacedTherapeuticMiddle Of The Night Author:Michael Kenna

“Where these reduced (operational - E.W.) concepts govern the analysis of the human reality, individual or social, mental or material, they arrive at a false concreteness - a concreteness isolated from the conditions which constitute its reality. In this context, the operational treatment of the concept assumes a political function. The individual and his behavior are analyzed in a therapeutic sense - adjustment to his society. Thought and expression, theory and practice are to be brought in line with the facts of his existence without leaving room for the conceptual critique of these facts.” HumansFactsRealityPoliticalCultureIndividualSocialLinesRoomsExistencePracticeConditionsExpressionMaterialsTheoryBehaviorConceptsFunctionAssumingLeavingAnalysisTreatmentIsolatedAdjustmentCritiqueTherapeuticTheory And Practice Author:Herbert Marcuse
