Quotes

  • ... the cameras should approach an object as an actual spectator does, and, like him, be influenced by empathy. Long shots become closeups, the flow of compositional directions, and, with due care for the results on the screen, studies of detail and texture under dramatic lighting, are all ways of lending motion to motionless things.
  • The wilderness holds answers to more questions than we yet know how to ask.
  • Conservation is humanity caring for the future.
