I'm very fond of the Talent series, and also the Crystal Singer trio.
Taking photographs and writing is my way of saying I was here, I saw this, I felt this, I heard this.
I believe in the invisible. I do not believe in the definitive reality of things around us. For me, reality is the intuition and the imagination and the quiet voice inside my head that says: isn't that extraordinary? The things in our lives are the shadows of reality, just as we ourselves are shadows.
One of the marvelous things about film is that if you expose it long enough you're going to get a picture.
You can never capture a person in picture, never. You might get an interesting expression or gesture. I almost never research a picture subject ahead of time. I think Karsh is full of baloney. Can you imagine spending a whole week out in La Jolla with Jonas Salk soaking up his ambiance, then wind up making him look as if he's in the studio in Ottawa with his thumb under his chin?
I don't get straight people, but I understand what they look like.
Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if. . . '; And then do it.
When I go on and listen to the stuff on the websites, I can't tell, it all sounds like the same band, like they should all be in one band together.
America is a nation created by all the hopeful wanderers of Europe, not out of geography and genetics, but out of purpose.
When you are confronted with challenges that are difficult to conquer or you have questions arise, the answers to which you do not know, hold fast to the things you do know. Hang on to your firmest foundation, however limited that may be, and from that position of strength face the unknown.
I'd forgotten I'd done the anime called Spirited Away, the English version of a Japanese film.
