My earlier writings dealt with some of the technical aspects of photography. Recent writing attempts to integrate information from other disciplines and relate it directly to the understanding of photographs in particular and to pictures in general. Each discipline has its own vocabulary in dealing with philosophical issues such as truth, reality, and values . . . my interest is to build conceptual linkages among various disciplines by utilizing pictures . . . What is the visual equivalent of linguistic terms such as metaphor, metonymy, and synecdoche? — Richard Zakia

Richard Zakia, 1925-2012, was a professor at RIT and a research engineer at Kodak. some of his writing is at this link.

“Freedom is an elusive concept. Some men hold themselves prisoner even when they have the power to do as they please and go where they choose, while others are free in their hearts, even as shackles restrain them.”
― Brian Herbert, House Harkonnen

“Let the future remain uncertain, for that is the canvas to receive our desires.”
― Brian Herbert, House Harkonnen
