Camera Aperture

Famous quotes containing the words camera and/or aperture:

    The camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. The scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders’ sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. There, running away ... is me: hurt it and you are hurting me.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
