Quotes
“The doing is the thing. The talking, and worrying and thinking about the thing is not the thing.” — Amy Poehler
“Every photograph is altered, to one degree or another.” – John Paul Caponigro
“Many oriental cultures make a distinction between two ways of looking – ‘hard eyes’ and ‘soft eyes’. When we look with hard eyes, we see specific details with sharp focus, but we don’t see the relationships between different details as well. When we look with soft eyes we see the relationships between everything in our field of vision, but with this softer focus, we don’t see all the details as clearly. It’s possible to look in two ways at once.” – John Paul Caponigro
