The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
My wife and I are affiliated with a temple here in Los Angeles. We feel very close to the congregation and to the rabbi, who happens to be my wife’s cousin and who I admire greatly. I talk to him regularly but I consider myself more spiritual than religious.
These are beautiful days. Folks ask what I’m doing. I tell them I’m doing family.
Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. Help a friend.
I use a computer. I don’t know if that qualifies me as a techie, but I’m pretty good on the computer.
That is the exploration that awaits you! Not mapping stars and studying nebula, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence.
I also do my own processing, so it means a big commitment in lab time.
I became involved in photography when I was about thirteen years old.
Insufficient facts always invite danger.
Years ago – in the 70s, for about a decade – I carried a camera every place I went. And I shot a lot of pictures that were still life and landscape, using available light.
I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.
Because I have been lonely, I value love.
The camera can capture thought in a way that’s quite surprising and shocking. You can become very simple and minimal in your work and communicate a lot with just a finger or an eyebrow, or a look, or a glance.
I’m attracted to images that come from a personal exploration of a subject matter. When they have a personal stamp to them, then I think it becomes identifiable.
It’s all about trying to make the world and the universe a better place. I’m proud to be connected with it. I think we need that in our lives. We need ethical, heroic people trying to do the right thing to help others and to improve life on this planet and in the universe.
The book tour has been really interesting and very gratifying. I have not book toured before. I’ve never had quite as much pleasure, as much satisfaction.
For me it’s all about personal vision; is there something about a subject that uniquely speaks to me.
I’m not an equipment nut. I tend to use whatever’s at hand. I have several cameras, of course, but I’m not emotional about any of them.
Art functioning as propaganda is not art.
Pablo Casals has this simple and sincere attitude of knowing where it’s at – of saying, “This is the way it is.” If I thought I could carry some of that into my life, I would be happy.
