I'm like some of the others, such an adoring fan it gets ridiculous. Seeing a new essay by you is like getting a new great photography book in the mail. I know i will have something new and exciting to peruse for days. This has been a joy.

Beautifully coquettish yet hauntingly aloof.
Intimate yet remote.
Folded in the womb yet encased in the coffin.

What a perfect example of your work and all its mysteries.

PS Your exquisite model defines your work as much as your eye and processing. Regardless of the portrayal you ask of her, she is always stunning.

You were able to pack an entire lifetime in a small collection of images. As I've said before your images work well in collections. Thanks

You must be tiring of my praise and admiration? Well tough luck for you matey, because if you are tiring of my adulation and respect your future looks bleak.

I have just looked through your essay again with good friend Antony Osler, a Buddhist monk/Zen teacher/sheep farmer/magistrate, author of two wonderful books that make me feel exactly the way your photographs and essays make me feel. Antony loves the pictures in this essay John, and the words, and he shares with me in this appreciation and thank you.
