"If you think about why any story moves us, it’s because of a quaking moment of recognition. It’s never the shock of the new, it’s the shock of the familiar."
Joshua Oppenheimer, the director of the Oscar-nominated film The Look of Silence (2014), speaks about his practice as a documentary filmmaker.

“At times when you’re taking photographs you realise that you’re hooked on composition and you’re no longer really aware of what it is you’re seeing. Composition can quickly become narcissistic: you fancy yourself as an artist. The pictures you take in that frame of mind are often completely empty, precisely because they’re too perfect. Composition is not only a problem every time you take or enlarge a photo, it’s also a product of your attitude as you look at something and the mood you are in.”
Wim Wenders, from Written in the West
