Quote of the Day
January 2, 2010 by planetcity1
You see fleeting perfection of form merging with a significant substance, and you make a clicking noise only a hair’s breadth away. You have then judged something, reported something, ostensibly truthfully… And when you made a clicking noise you said something eloquently if you are skilled.
Burk Uzzle
(1938 - )
American Photographer
Burk is the guy who took a bunch of Woodstock pics.
From Boing Boing:
“Burk Uzzle shot the festival from the vantage point of a participant. In one particularly telling photograph, a sea of humanity as dense as a carpet of wildflowers in a meadow spills over a hillside; in another, a young hippie couple standing in a tender embrace under a grandmother’s quilt became the icon of a generation. Rather than document the music, Uzzle chose to focus on details of living, existence, and enjoyment over that three day period. In so doing, he captured the spirit of the festival and ultimately an era.”
And here’s the story behind one well-known Woodstock photo:
Quote of the Day

The greatest value
of a picture is
when it forces us
to notice what
we never expected
to see.
John W. Tukey
(1915 – 2000)
American Chemist/
Topologist/Statistician
Tukey was an pre-computer home-schooled data geek. Check out his bio here:
The following is from Wiki:
“Tukey coined many statistical terms that have become part of common usage, but the two most famous coinages attributed to him were related to computer science.
While working with John von Neumann on early computer designs, Tukey introduced the word “bit” as a contraction of “binary digit”.[2] The term “bit” was first used in an article by Claude Shannon in 1948.
The term “software“, which Paul Niquette claims he coined in 1953, was first used in print by Tukey in a 1958 article in American Mathematical Monthly, and thus some attribute the term to him;[3] incorrectly, according to Niquette’s claim.

Quote of the Day
December 17, 2009 by planetcity1
Photographs of people are
often frozen motion -
the moment made eternal.
In nature photography,
the opposite applies …
eternity is frozen and made
into a moment. We are
granted a glimpse of eternity itself.
Gudmundur Andri Thorsson
(1957 - )
Icelandic author, editor and critic
Quote of the Day
December 7, 2009 by planetcity1
Human gesture and expression are the essence of photography. It’s not about lights or fast lenses and fast film. It’s the ability to capture a moment in time. To capture the spirit of someone in that magic box is wonderful. It’s what I fell in love with as a kid.
John Shearer
American Photographer
Note: I’ve found sites for two different John Shearers – either may or may not belong to the Quote of the Day Photographer mentioned above. Both, however, appear to have singers and musicians as their subjects:
