This'll be popular but in spite of that it's really very good. Which sounds like a smart-ass remark, but I don't mean it that way; managing that double is quite an achievement.

Lots to like about this, and not the least is the improbable array of couples on the foreground steps.

Yes. An unusual young/old face and those blood vessels in the eyelids immediately lift this into more than an ordinary portrait. I've always liked portraits with the eyes shut as well; they are rare, and nearly always more interesting for that counter-intuitive decision. This is an extraordinary photograph, quite boldly conceived and very well executed. 8.

Great in-car image. It's a one-frame (or two, really) version of the R.E.M. 'Everybody Hurts' video.

1185 W. Georgia

Three years later, and I still remember it! And I haven't lost my admiration for it either. In the intervening period I have slowly realised that I have a great attraction to images that are both abstract and not abstract at the same time. Images that have two lives simultaneously, I suppose; a literal identity (1185 W. Georgia) and another life as a celebration of what beauty can derive from just shapes, tones and mass, and the relationships between them. I have in the last year or so begun to experiment with this abstract/not abstract idea myself, and this image has remained clear in my mind as the inspiration for it.

This is really beautifully composed & lit. The shapes and the sense of 'weight' that they bring makes the image feel balanced even though it has strongly open and closed sides. Good that he is walking out of the shot ... it works with the way the light is. The impression of something carried in the guy's right hand is strangely compelling too; is it something? Or just a shadow? Instrument case maybe? He walks like a musician.

That's very unusual, and very good.

Makes it easier to see the light, doesn't it? You know how the word 'photography' means light painting or light drawing or some such thing? Well, according to this image, it really does.

Presumably you have noticed the Tuareg tribesman in your bedroom? He's looking at the flowers.

Comment:
Anxiety and television ... a perfect match. You could therefore be Dr Richard Kimble. This is a great dipper; not so much two images in juxtaposition as it is two versions of the same instant, so that we're not 100% certain whether time has shifted a fraction, or our viewpoint has.
