Wonderful! Impromptu theatre, hidden in plain sight. If I had a drum kit I'd award you a rim shot for every photograph. But I don't, so it's just thank you.

I remember those same people. I thought I'd forgotten them. Thank you.

It's OK. Had I voted I'd have given it a 10, but that's only 5 per tusk. Still, two 5s is a nice pair. Thank you.

All the parts are great but the best part of all is the stain.

I would read this book. You can judge a book by its cover.

ETA: Thank you.

O, let us have him, for his silver hairs
Will purchase us a good opinion
And buy men's voices to commend our deeds:
It shall be said his judgment rul'd our hands;
Our youths and wildness shall no whit appear,
But all be buried in his gravity.

- Billy S.

This reminded me immediately of Keith Carter's 'Fireflies'.

Just as an aside (please pardon the diversion), how good is Keith Carter? If I could see the work of only three photographers for the rest of my life, Keith Carter would be well-placed on the podium, clutching a trophy and beaming back at me.

But let's get right back to you and your picture. It's a really beautiful photograph, everything that a durable photograph should be. It's a photograph-as-object, so you'd better print it. Not big; not for the wall. Print it small, print it only once, and keep it in a drawer or a chocolate box, where all your most imperishable objects belong. Thank you.

Why do I love pictures like this? Because they are like shifting sands; just when you think your footing is secure the earth moves under your feet (which would be a splendid song title, would it not?) Wanting to know exactly what something is, what it means, what its boundaries are, is a sad, dismal affliction that I am happy to have never suffered from. So you can throw this beautifully ill-defined stuff at me anytime, and I'll always love how it makes me feel. It makes me feel curious. It makes me feel excited. It makes me feel a fresh feeling every time I look at it.

Some people say that they want a spectacular landscape blown up large and hung on their wall. Other people want a picture of a flawless face with improbably-windblown hair and grotesquely pimped eyes. Often it's the very same people. Poor bastards.

On my wall I love stuff like this, where the experience is never over.

Here's the proof; your picture is (near enough) on my wall right now.

Thank you.

P.S.

I've just been reading some stuff about Daido Moriyama and looking at his photographs, so I fell for this picture right away. But I'd have loved it anyway, even if I'd only been reading Harry Potter. It has the kind of studied negligence that I love; where it looks like a mistake until you take a second look and appreciate how absorbing it is, and how startlingly well-seen it is. Thank you.

Just a wonderful, complicated, beautiful, charming, enigmatic photograph. The Russian doll of photographs. I love it. Thank you.
