flying planes unpredictability
We don't talk about planes flying. We talk about them crashing.
model society tries
We live in a society and a culture and an economic model that tries to make everything look right.
agent change face future government immediate less social time
Let's face it: we live at a time when government is less and less powerful, less and less effective, and the agent of social change, at least for the immediate future, is the corporation.
kids years
I like being a 10-year-old kid who's in charge.
nice moving looks
Good designers are no longer satisfied in taking the manuscript from someone and making it look nice. One of the things that I've tried to do is move from being a designer to a content provider.
isms use contrary
I use contrary-ism in every part of my life.
photography believe being-true
I believe that this whole question of some photography being true and some untrue is a non-question. Photography is not objective; it never was objective.
culture contradiction term
Consumer culture is contradiction in terms
important way edits
Edits are very important to me - they're the way in which I work on everything.
stories use
I'm not as good a writer as I'd like to be; therefore, I like to use images to tell stories.
knowing
To me, nothing is more vibrant than having the power to do something but not having the experience of knowing what's right and what's wrong.
sound boring
I'm not against beauty, it just sounds boring to me.
perspective appreciated moments
Perspective is a moment in time that cannot be fully appreciated until that moment has passed.
communication thinking skills
What is said determines who listens and who understands. Graphic design is a language, but graphic designers are so busy worrying about the nuances - accents, punctuation and so on - that they spend little time thinking about what the words add up to. I’m interested in using our communication skills to change the way things are.
