About this Quote
This quote means that photography is the end result of combining visual concepts, modern technology, and also personal analysis. Every one of these components need to collaborate as well as be of a high standard, otherwise the result will certainly not be successful. Essentially, each element has to be strong sufficient to depend on its own, or the end product will certainly be threatened.
"It's not just the effect of technology on the environment, on religion, on the economic structure, on society, on politics, etc. It's that everything now exists in technology to the point where technology is the new and comprehensive host of nature of life"
"I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up"
"Developments in information technology and globalised media mean that the most powerful military in the history of the world can lose a war, not on the battlefield of dust and blood, but on the battlefield of world opinion"
