“I am still so proud to have been a part of something that introduced theater to so many people who weren't exposed to it before.

“Stretch of I-95 has already had one brush with disaster. In 2008 two contractors from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation stopped to get a sausage sandwich, and parked their cars under this bridge. And fortunately they wanted that sausage sandwich because they saw one of these piers with an eight foot gash in it about five inches wide. And oh, they knew automatically that this bridge was in deep trouble.” TwoWantedFiveSawsTroubleFeetCarEightWideDisasterBridgesDepartmentInchesBrushesSandwichesTransportationPennsylvaniaSausageContractorPiers Author:Steve Kroft
“I had always made pictures as I thought I saw the world, focusing on what lay in front, but this is not how one sees the world. It only frames the centre and cuts off the lateral vision, which lies unfocused. Now I found that I could turn my eye to the adjacent field of vision, seeing another focus, an extension which I added to the original. Instead of stopping at two focuses, I looked further to the side, adding another and yet another.” WorldMadeTwoEyeLyingTurnsFoundSidesVisionSawsFocusCuttingSeeingFrontsFieldsOriginalsLaysCentreExtensionsStopping Author:Joseph Plaskett

“I don't remember the first image of a werewolf I saw, but I suspect it was the hybrid type, up on two legs, with long limbs, hair, claw-like fingernails and lupine head. To me there's nothing scary about complete transformation from human into wolf. Wolves aren't scary. They're dangerous, yes, but so are geese, in the wrong mood.
