The good photograph is not the object, the consequences of the photograph are the objects.

I just see myself as an object in the final image. I know I'm experiencing it when I'm there working on it. I'm there to be worked with, as anything else that I work with.

Found objects, chance creations, ready-mades (mass-produced items promoted into art objects, such as Duchamp's "Fountain"-urinal as sculpture) abolish the separation between art and life. The commonplace is miraculous if rightly seen.

Many painters had a clear idea of what fractals are. Take a French classic painter named Poussin. Now, he painted beautiful landscapes, completely artificial ones, imaginary landscapes.

He had a balance of small objects, big objects, big trees in front and his balance of objects at every scale is what gives to Poussin a special feeling.

We continue to update Crystal Reports with new features that take reporting to the next level and enable organizations to give users secure, independent access to the information they need to run their business effectively.

Black holes are perhaps the most exotic objects to impinge on the cosmic consciousness.
