York/media

Famous quotes containing the words york and/or media:

    New York is a woman
    holding, according to history,
    a rag called liberty with one hand
    and strangling the earth with the other.
    Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
