If I could edit Google Images, then I wouldn’t be as scared of the Internet.
I write scripts to serve as skeletons awaiting the flesh and sinew of images.
The general effect of viewing ‘Jumanji’ is thrilling. I was able to see on film a thing that at one point had only existed in my imagination. I got to see the images from my book come alive.
Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.
In the end, what I’m trying to say as a person who does all this travel and fashions these images is that you arrive at an approximate location but never one destination.
Comics don’t work if the story is all in the text and the images are illustrative. It’s hard to have enough faith in the artists to allow them to do their job.
When Thomas and John Knoll launched Photoshop 1.0 in 1990, the software couldn’t even handle color images. But their offerings got the startup noticed by Apple and Adobe, both of whom became key to the fledgling company’s later success.
I want – no, I need – to see images of black girls and femmes twerking, slaying and primping, just as much as I need to see Symone Sanders bopping her head and Representative Maxine Waters reclaiming her time.
My books come to me in images, and sometimes the image is at the beginning of the book, and sometimes it’s simply a flash somewhere in the middle.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
The military has been determined to control the images of war since Vietnam. They’re convinced that they lost the war because of loss of political support back home, because people saw what was going on.
My suggestion is that at each state the proper order of operation of the mind requires an overall grasp of what is generally known, not only in formal logical, mathematical terms, but also intuitively, in images, feelings, poetic usage of language, etc.
The McDonald’s icon of the colours and the golden arch, for me, resonates as one of the most iconic images ever.
I had seen images of Crystal Renn and Sophie Dahl growing up, but I didn’t really know about the plus-size fashion industry or how lucrative it was or, like, that it was changing or that I was even invited.
Indeed, it is measure of how little we know about Cleopatra that the only images of her are either the coins she struck, bearing very unflattering official portraits of her, or some doubtful busts, which may be of other women imitating her coiffure.
So many images are saying to girls, ‘Show a lot of skin and look gorgeous and sexy.’
There are still some terrible cliches in the presentation of Indian fiction. The lotus flower. The hennaed hands. In mainland Europe, people still slap these images on my books and I go bananas.
The source and center of all man’s creative power… is his power of making images, or the power of imagination.
In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all.
If you look at landscape in historical terms, you realize that most of the time we have been on Earth as a species, what has fallen on our retina is landscape, not images of buildings and cars and street lights.
I like creating images.
We are truly bombarded by images. To break through and be observed, let alone focused on, you have to have impact and power.
When we read, we are doing more than delectating words on a page stories, characters, images, notions. We are communing with the mind of the author.
Sometimes it’s a struggle to keep up with my own photos, where the lighting is perfect, the makeup is done, and the images have been retouched. That’s not what I see when I look in the mirror!
I thought I’d better check this third plate, which is another date, see if there’s an image there in the right place that would be consistent with the images on the other plates. That was the final proof.
Belief is not restricted to a brief affirmation based on imitation; rather, it has degrees and stages of development. It is like a seed growing into a fully grown, fruit-bearing tree; like the sun’s image in a mirror or in a drop of water to its images on the sea’s surface and to the sun itself.
Some people will never take Madonna seriously – just as many never took Marilyn Monroe seriously. Novelty images – especially that of a sex symbol – are hard to erase.
You can’t be a passive recipient of images, you have to engage with images and read their subtexts. These are critical things that will be taught to the students by a film club.
All you see on television are debased images.
When people think about ‘thinking,’ they often think ‘academia;’ they think ‘threat.’ They think ‘coldness.’ I want to reverse all those images and say, ‘No, the brain God gave you is intended to throw fuel on the fire of your affections for God. It’s really good at it if you let it.’
I often find myself feeling that filming music is somehow the purest form of filmmaking. This crazed collision of sound and images, the intense collaboration, these incredibly cinematic performances. And for the nights you’re filming, a non-player like me gets to feel somehow part of the band.
Graphic novels are not traditional literature, but that does not mean they are second-rate. Images are a way of writing. When you have the talent to be able to write and to draw, it seems a shame to choose one. I think it’s better to do both.
I’m not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman – not unless she is looking for new images.
I realized all of the possibilities that could exist for me with my camera: all of the images that I could capture, all of the lives I could enter, all of the people I could meet and how much I could learn from them.
Words and images deeply impact the way we view our bodies, and the consequences can be very damaging.
Different people get different things out of the images. It doesn’t matter what it’s about, all that matters is how it makes you feel.
Most people are visually illiterate. Most people don’t understand images: they don’t understand how to interpret them or how to manufacture them.
With ‘The Karate Kid’ especially, there’s been so many references and visual images from that film, you know? Who knew that ‘Wax on, wax off’ would become part of the American lexicon?
When we make the cerebral state the beginning of an action, and in no sense the condition of a perception, we place the perceived images of things outside the image of our body, and thus replace perception within the things themselves.
In 1984, George Orwell wrote of a world where the only colour to be found was in the propaganda posters. Such is the case in North Korea. Images of Kim Il-sung are depicted in vivid colours. Rays of yellow and orange emanate from his face: he is the sun.
I think a lot of times, especially for certain stories, photographers travel together for safety reasons, and they also invariably cross paths. But you could have 10 photographers shooting together in the same spot but capturing different images.
Today, children are watching more and more television, and are bombarded over and over with images and content that have the potential to dramatically influence their behavior.
Too many people are making images of war. If I want to see war, I’ll watch the news.
Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that’s art.
I grew up in a world where stories and images were made and told by men. So I know this world very well. I am moved by this world.
I tend to think in images and feelings rather than non-abstract concepts.
True 3D is, you have to kind of originate the images in three dimensions.
You’ve gotten words about those American and Iraqi deaths and mutilations, but precious few images.

I don’t over-photoshop my images; I really don’t like to do that so much.
I don’t want people to look back at my matches and say, ‘When you did that move, it was good, and I liked it because it was cool.’ I want people to sort of remember a rush of images and the emotion that they felt when they saw it. That’s when I think you have a real masterpiece in your hands.
We do not merely perceive objects and hold thoughts in our minds: all our perceptions and thought processes are felt. All have a distinctive component that announces an unequivocal link between images and the existence of life in our organism.
Musically, there’s a movement called the flatted fifth that’s really evil-sounding. It was outlawed by the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. That movement is what gives you a real evil sound that conjures up dark, fantastic images. It’s like an audio horror movie. It personifies what a horror movie is about.
Arthur Young’s Reflexive Universe – fascinating but too schematic to fit into my scheme. The most I could hope for was a sense of the vocabulary and some possible images.
Photographing friends means that there’s a spontaneity to the images. I have a lot of love for my friends and family, and I love taking cool pictures of them.
I’m not big into images. I’m into reality.
With high-speed cameras, we can do the opposite of time lapse. We can shoot images that are thousands of times faster than our vision. And we can see how nature’s ingenious devices work, and perhaps we can even imitate them.
