Steal moments of happiness if you have to, and then collect them until they are the dominant images in your psyche.
We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet.
The images we eat are as important as the food we eat. Think of that in terms of television, and a lot of the movies we watch.
The images from the book you make in your head are always going to be the best images.
Experiences aren't pornographic; only images and representations - structures of the imagination - are.
You only have control over three things in your life-the thoughts you think, the images you visualise, & the actions you take.
The mirror that Strindberg held up to Nature was a cracked one. It was cracked in a double sense -- it was crazy. It gave back broken images of a world which it made look like the chaos of a lunatic dream.
Images provide a knowledge that we can interiorize rather than 'apply,' can take to that place in ourselves where there is water and where reeds and grasses grow.
All of my early images were really visual experiments to me. They were attempts to answer unasked questions like, what happens if you put images of six men and six women together, or if we combined a monkey's image with a human, would the result approximate an image of early man?
A picture story is a sequence of images combined with text in such a way that pictures and words reinforce each other. They produce a planned, organized combination giving detailed account of an event, personality or aspect of life.
The word relationship is beautiful. The original meaning of the root from which the word to relate comes is exactly the same as to respond. Relationship comes from that word respond. If you have any image of your wife or husband, you cannot respond, and hence relate, to the truth of the person. And we all go on carrying images.
My responsibility as a photographer, to my subjects, is to know what's going to happen with my images.
We use up words as we use up images. We use up everything, and that's good, because it makes us grow.
My mind works like Google for images. You put in a key word; it brings up pictures. See language for me narrates the pictures in my mind.
The work all comes from a psychological need. See the images that I make. . . It's really a psychological need. I'm just jerked around by it. I'm pulled by it.
Actually, I met a lot of directors and most of them have that fantasy to make a silent movie because for directors it's the purest way to tell a story. It's about creating images that tell a story and you don't need dialogue for that.
Many who are making cellphone images are advocates with a stake in the outcome of what they are depicting. In some ways this makes their work more honest and easier to read - they can also manipulate, although the work of professionals can be quite manipulative as well.
There are as many archetypes as there are typical situations in life. Endless repetition has engraved these experiences into our psychic constitution, not in the forms of images filled with content, but at first only as forms without content, representing merely the possibility of a certain type of perception and action.
People often trust low-res images because they look more real. But of course they are not more real, just easier to fake. . . You never see a 10-megapixel photograph of Big Foot or the Abominable Snowman or the Loch Ness Monster.
You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. In almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. If you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. If you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. Only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.
