A lexicographer, a writer of dictionaries, a harmless drudge.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001198122
Photographs should celebrate the contingent, the spontaneous, the incomplete, the fortuitous. Direct, unblinking vision should be coupled with deliberate indifference as to subject. The ironic goal is a scrupulous recording of whatever chance brings to hand.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000948130
The first merit of pictures is the effect they produce on the mind; and the first step of a sensible man should be to receive involuntary impressions from them. Pleasure and inspiration first; analysis, afterward.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001360782
Even the uncaptioned art photograph is invaded by language in the very moment it is looked at: in memory, in association, snatches of words and images continually intermingle and exchange one for the other.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001189490
All photos speak a thousand words. This one contained a library.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001268888

Pictionary Quotes : pic 000279555

Pictionary Quotes : pic 000528172
Lexicography is a chastening as well as an illuminating and fascinating art.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000411555
There's no question that photographs communicate more instantly and powerfully than words do, but if you want to communicate a complex concept clearly, you need words, too.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001079414
What you look for in a picture is a metaphor, something that means something more, that makes you think about things you've seen or thought about.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001266860
What is a photograph? For me, a fragment of quick-silver, a lucid dream, a scribbled note from the subconscious to be deciphered, perhaps, over years. It is a monologue trying to become a conversation, an offering, an alibi, a salute.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000702409
One word is worth a thousand pictures. If it's the right word.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000938681
I just read them for fun."
"Dictionaries?"
"Yes."
"That doesn't sound like fun. That sounds awful."
"Awful used to mean 'full of awe.' The same meaning as awesome. I learned that from a dictionary."
He blinked.
"See?" She said. "Fun.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000188833
County library? Reference desk, please. Hello? Yes, I need a word definition. Well, that's the problem. I don't know how to spell it and I'm not allowed to say it. Could you just rattle off all the swear words you know and I'll stop you when ... Hello?
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001825279
As a painter, taking photos is a form of shorthand - note-taking.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001085102
Not only has photography so thoroughly saturated our visual environment as to make the invention of visual images seem archaic, but it is also clear that photography is too multiple, too useful to other discourses, ever to be wholly contained within traditional definitions of art.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001148993
The business of making a photograph may be said in simple terms to consist of three elements: the objective world (whose permanent condition is change and disorder), the sheet of paper on which the picture will be realized, and the experience which brings them together.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001644150
A photograph is a meeting place where the interests of the photographer, the photographed, the viewer and those who are using the photograph are often contradictory. These contradictions both hide and increase the natural ambiguity of the photographic image.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001156373
As writers, we do our best to conjure a world so vivid that the reader can practically walk through it - but we're still only using words and relying on readers to do a lot of work of imagining. Providing pictures as well as words offers a whole new dimension to the experience of consuming a story.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001134452
Something made out of words...
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000902147
Photography is my method for defining the confusing world that rushes constantly toward me. It is my defensive attempt to reduce our daily chaos to a set of understandable images.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000206036
I try to construct a picture in which shapes, spaces, colors, form a set of unique relationships, independent of any subject matter. At the same time I try to capture and translate the excitement and emotion aroused in me by the impact with the original idea.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001362390
A picture may say a thousand words, but a word can say what only a word can say.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000950149
The makers of dictionaries are dependent upon specialists for their definitions. A specialist's definition may be true or it may be erroneous. But its truth cannot be increased or its error diminished by its acceptance by the lexicographer. Each definition must stand on its own merits.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000909151
The dictionary is, however, only a rough draft.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000740491
We don't have enough words for photography. Can you imagine writers having only one word for writing?
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000794962
Is it a spiral of water in the tragic gleam of a revolver, an egg, a glistening arc or the floodgate of reason, a keen ear attuned to a mineral hiss, or a turbine of algebraic formulas? (On Man Ray's first photograms, 1921.)
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000158280
The dictionary is a wonderful thing, but you can't let it push you around.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000040415
A picture, to be an interesting picture, must be more than a picture, otherwise it is only a reproduction of an object, and not an object of value in itself.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001618905
The photograph, after all, is just a photograph. Words will determine its meaning and status.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000306008
I now require this of all pictures, that they domesticate me, not that they dazzle me. Pictures must not be too picturesque. Nothing astonishes men so much as common-sense and plain dealing. All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001292204
The ultimate role of photography as a contemporary language of visual communication consists of its capacity to slow down our fast and chaotic way of reading images.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000190462
Photography makes one conscious of beauty everywhere, even in the simplest things, even in what is often considered commonplace or ugly. Yet nothing is really 'ordinary', for every fragment of the world is crowned with wonder and mystery, and a great and surprising beauty.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001299414
A room is - it's a frame, and the people in it are the pictures.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001069517
To say of a picture, as is often said in its praise, that it shows great and earnest labour, is to say that it is incomplete and unfit for view.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001060331
The photograph is an incomplete utterance, a message that depends on some external matrix of conditions and presuppositions for its readability.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000937868
Fifty years ago, the spoken word reigned, but during the last fifty years, the power has gone over to pictures.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000695310
The photograph is an undeniably powerful medium. Free from the constraints of language, and harnessing the unique qualities of a single moment frozen in time.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000566426
I'm not trying to be in your face and take a picture that is like a journalistic kind of image. I got interested in a kind of complicated, compiled, visual field.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001257707
To an artist, a picture is both a sum of ideas and a blurry memory of 'pushing paint,' breathing fumes, dripping oils and wiping brushes, smearing and diluting and mixing.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000063101
As a child growing up among artists I learned to think of a picture not as a finished product exposed for the admiration of the virtuosi, but as the visible record, lying about the house, of an attempt to solve a definite problem in painting.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001429282
The best pictures differentiate themselves by nuances ... a tiny relationship - either a harmony or a disharmony - that creates a picture.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000672279
Photographs are but one link in a potentially endless chain of reduplication; themselves duplicates (of both their objects and, in a sense, their negatives), they are also subject to further duplication, either through the procedures of printing or as objects of still other photographs ...
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000393687
Poetry consists in a rhyming dictionary and things seen.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000430614
A picador is the guy in a bullfight who helps make sure the matador doesn't get killed by distracting the bull. That's what TV writing is. You're just distracting the bull long enough to stick around for the next set of commercials.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000775494
Why can't a photograph be all four things at once? -be an art object; be a document, what ever that means exactly, but deal with content; be a formalist exploration; and operate on some, metaphor is not the right word but, resonant level..
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001831590
First you must have the images, then come the words.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000722414
Try to reach for a simple, visual phrase that tells you what the picture is all about and evokes the essence of the story
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001765044
A word is worth a thousand pictures.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001361355
Pictures of pictures, or of other
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001683919
A single photograph is a mere fragment of an experience and, simultaneously, the distillation of the entire body of one's experience.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001657260
Photography is a language more universal than words.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000309056
Picture, n. A representation in two dimensions of something wearisome in three.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001520416
My true program is summed up in one word: life. I expect to photograph anything suggested by that word which appeals to me.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000940206
Literature is the stringing together of pictures in words.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000279464
I have a vision of life, and I try to find equivalents for it in the form of photographs.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001158082
Every photograph is a realization of one of the possibilities contained within the program of the camera. The number of such possibilities is large, but it is nevertheless finite. It is the sum of all those photographs that can be taken by a camera.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000115980
The earliest impressions are pictographic in form - little pictures that are the stylized versions of the things they represent. And most things they represent are plants and animals. The earliest writing deprived from vision rather than sound.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000238147
If you are truly successful in capturing the pulse of life, then you can speak of a good photograph.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000258485
The trouble with dictionaries is, they tell you more about words than you want to know without answering the question you have.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001129749
I'm an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000603456
Photographs are perhaps the most mysterious of all the objects that make up, and thicken, the environment we recognize as modern. Photographs really are experience captured, and the camera is the ideal arm of consciousness in its acquisitive mood.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001023247
Photography speaks a universal language that does not need translation, and with an immediacy that the written word lacks. It freezes a moment in time, leaving an indelible image.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000302107
All of us tend to look at photographs as if we are simply gazing through a two-dimensional window onto some outside world. This is almost a perceptual necessity; in order to see what the photograph is of, we must first repress our consciousness of what the photograph is.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000077680
Throwaway snapshots come closest to achieving the state of pure picture.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001614076
Be a good guide, tell me what you see, are sure is that?
Please try to describe the picture as much vocabulary as possible!
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000086569
The relation of photography and language is a principal site of struggle for value and power in contemporary representations of reality; it is the place where images and words find and lose their conscience, their aesthetic and ethical identity.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001362122
The photogram, image formation outside the camera is the real key to photography,it embodies the essence ... that allows us to capture light on light sensitive material without the use of any camera.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000581074
Photography's potential as a great image-maker and communicator is really no different from the same potential in the best poetry where familiar, everyday words, placed within a special context, can soar above the intellect and touch subtle reality in a unique way.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001389311
Photographs have a relevance for things that cannot be said.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000320599
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000321595
Dictionaries are like watches; the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000803161
Photography is a contest between a photographer and the presumptions of approximate and habitual seeing. The contest can be held anywhere ...
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000946499
Dear me, what would this barren vocabulary get out of the mightiest spectacle? - the burning of Rome in Nero's time, for instance? Why, it would merely say, 'Town burned down; no insurance; boy brast a window, fireman brake his neck!' Why, THAT ain't a picture!
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001143224
A great photograph needs no explanation; it functions by suggestion. There is no need to be explicit.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000610451
Wherever there are words, let there be pictures.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000433602
Compared to the spoken word, a picture is a pitiful thing, indeed.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000484238
If art is the poetic interpretation of nature, photography is the exact translation; it is exactitude in art or the complement of art. (1854)
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000425403
We called [the] process photomontage, because it embodied our refusal to play the part of the artist. We regarded ourselves as engineers, and our work as construction: we assembled our work, like a fitter.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000376433
Many people keep photos in their homes, in their office, or in their wallet, and happy families tend to display large numbers of photos at home. In 'Happier at Home,' I write about my 'shrine to my family' made of photographs.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000510253
Photography is the easiest thing in the world if one is willing to accept pictures that are flaccid, limp, bland, banal, indiscriminately informative, and pointless. But if one insists in a photograph that is both complex and vigorous it is almost impossible
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000672888
I want my pictures to be things. I want them to be made up of marks that are physically and individually self-sufficient.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000860452
The trouble with the dictionary is that you have to know how a word is spelled before you can look it up to see how it is spelled.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000422513
As a person with the retentive mental capacity of a goldfish and a dislike of repetition, I frequently make use of the thesaurus built into my Microsoft Word U.K. Software.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000671884
It is not important to make many pictures but that I have one picture right.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000850896
Photos always seem to exist as sort of stuffy, unnecessary antiques that we put in a drawer - unless we take them out, put them in current dialogue, and give them relevance.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000752957
The photograph is not only a pictorial report; it is also a psychological report. It represents the feelings and point of view of the intelligence behind the camera.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001160634
A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

Pictionary Quotes : pic 000056206
A picture whose pictorial form is logical form is called a logical picture.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000188102
Since the age of six I have had the habit of sketching forms of objects. Although from about fifty I have often published my pictorial works, before the seventieth year none is worthy.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001125088
I don't need no Smith and Wesson, man, I got Merriam and Webster.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001656642
The photograph is the most perfect picture. It does not change; it is absolute, and therefore autonomous, unconditional, devoid of style. Both in its way of informing, and in what it informs of, it is my source.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001150687
My pictures are not that interesting, nor the subject matter. They are simply a collection of facts; my book is more like a collection of Ready-mades.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001062672
To collect photographs is to collect the world.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 000188529
An image is a bridge between evoked emotion and conscious knowledge; words are the cables that hold up the bridge. Images are more direct, more immediate than words, and closer to the unconscious. Picture language precedes thinking in words; the metaphorical mind precedes analytical consciousness.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001419872
amanda lifted a large handful of pictures out of the box and dropped them into her lap, flicking through them as they fall. they told a thousand stories, didn't they? the pictures of your life. but they left a lot out, too.
Pictionary Quotes : pic 001067484
Lexicographer: a writer of dictionaries, a harmless drudge, that busies himself in tracing the original, and detailing the signification of words.
