Most practising scientists focus on 'bite-sized' problems that are timely and tractable. The occupational risk is then to lose sight of the big picture.
Sometimes a picture could not deliver the substance of why it is captured, but a picture with a friend can easily present different messages, but it depends on facial expression.
It’s important to look at the big picture of life, as long as it’s not through a small screen
There are certain times I don't want my picture taken. If my wife's stepping out of a car and it looks like it's going to come out an indecent picture, don't I have a right to object?
If a man is pictured chopping off a woman's breast, it only gets a R rating, but if, God forbid, a man is pictured kissing a woman's breast, it gets an X rating. Why is violence more acceptable than tenderness?
My brother was a great audience, and if he liked the picture, he would laugh and laugh and laugh, and he would want to keep the picture. Making people laugh with an image I had created... what power that was!

Sam the Lion: [to Genevieve] Chicken fry me a steak and try to use meat this time!
Duane Jackson: I'll see you in a year or two if I don't get shot.
Sonny Crawford: Nothin's really been right since Sam the Lion died.
Victor Saville was bad news because he wanted money just to do one big picture.
Pictures have a lot more power than text. Text is just a bunch of little symbols. You have to actually read it and imagine it, and even that can be censored. With pictures, it's a lot more immediate.
I kept hiding my smile in pictures throughout middle school and most of high school until picture day came my senior year.
I go and see anything that's visually new, any technology that's about picture-making. The technology won't make the pictures different, but someone using it will.
Even as a little kid, I was fascinated by newspapers and magazines. They were my TV. I'd be the first one up to grab the morning paper, mainly to look at the sports pictures, the war pictures.
I know that on my own sites, a picture of me with my mom or me with my dog does well, but when I put up a picture of myself shirtless, it does get a little crazy.
