"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.

ninebagatelles:

“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
