The World is not enough used to this way of writing, to the moment. It knows not that in the minutiae lie often the unfoldings ofthe Story, as well as of the heart; and judges of an action undecided, as if it were absolutely decided.
It's like a magic well. You think you know everything about [a] photograph, you think you've gotten everything out of it, and all of a sudden I see things in it I'd never seen before.
A picture can hide as much as it reveals.
Photographs can reveal something to us, and they can also conceal things.
If you met Faith Hill in person, you would think she's absolutely beautiful. And when you take her picture, you will see every flaw that you never saw in person. Those flaws not only become visible but magnified.
Great visual effects serve story and character and in doing so, are, by their very definition, invisible.
A movie is like a tip of an iceberg, in a way, because so little of what you do in connection with making a movie actually gets into the movie. Almost everything gets left behind.
The facts are always less than what really happened.
The picture alone, without the written word, leaves half the story untold.
There are many reasons I love novels with multiple narratives. In novels where the events are filtered through the consciousness of a single 'reliable' narrator, I often wonder, is this the whole story? What could be missing here?
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show.
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
I like to look in the crevices of things, the nooks and the crannies. I like to see the things other people don't see, don't want to look at.
