I was keen to challenge this vernacular as the role of the photojournalist was changing, and images were becoming urgent and more succinctly linguistic. This is why I moved to publishing artists who were challenging the veracity of both the medium and the profession through their works.
Smash the control images. Smash the control machine.
What I try to do is the art of building, and the art of building is the art of construction; it is not only about forms and shapes and images.
People learn who they are by the images of themselves, the representations that they seek.
I don't want to sing songs and write songs that need to have images behind them that are of a specific time. The times we live in today - I mean, there's a lot to work with. But I think that if I was my age in 1975 or 1985, I would have felt the same way because that's what I gravitate toward.
Writing is not possible without images. Yet, images don't have to be descriptive; they can be concepts.
It can be argued that the mathematics behind these images [of the orbit diagram for quadratic functions and the Mandelbrot set] is even prettier than the pictures themselves.
Spiritual truth is something that is so far from us - without any form or name that we can imagine - that we need the things that religions gave us simply as images and metaphors. But they can be found in a variety of ways. It's not a question of religious practice.
There are many options for how images can aggregate not to nihilism, but to significance, or to meaning.
First you must have the images, then come the words.
If men refuse to be kindled, sparks can only burn themselves out, just as paper images and carriages burn out on the street during funerals.
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 one thing I always come back to as a writer, what I consider my bedrock, is a lot of charged images that appear in the text.
A Witch's work is mind work and utilizes powerful metaphors, allegories, and images that unlock the powers of the mind.
I feel that we can't educate children who are not healthy, and we can't keep them healthy if they're not educated. There has to be a marriage between health and education. You can't learn if your mind is full of unhealthy images from daily life and confusion about right and wrong.
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.
Ads sell more than products. They sell values, they sell images. They sell concepts of love and sexuality, of success, and perhaps most important, of normalcy. To a great extent they tell us who we are and who we should be.
The mind of a man that loves God does not fight against things or thoughts about them, but against the passions that are connected with these thoughts. That is, he does not struggle against a woman, or against one who has insulted him, and not against the images of them, but against the passions that are aroused by these images.
The images which the [press] photographer has filtered from reality, whether particular events or the anguish of human reactions to them, already bear a stamp of authenticity which the photographer is powerless to alter by one jot or tittle; the meaning of the objects, by a process of purification, itself becomes the theme of the work.
It is hard to avoid the aspect of time when producing what ones sees as a photograph. . . . my images [are] something that is not a frozen moment, but an image made up of many moments and that is created over time rather than taken.
