"Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" comes to mind... Robert Frost's poem is perfect and I think this is too.... lovely, dark and deep meaning.

I suspect this looks better against a darker background, but it's too dark for me.

Comment by ubique:
You do more with less than any photographer I have ever known. Your stuff always seems like the sketches of a great artist. You'll scoff at the comparison – probably laugh out loud – but your photographs remind me of Picasso's single line drawings (contour drawings?), where everything is about capturing the essence of a thing with the maximum economy, and fuck the details, which are irrelevant or even worse obscuring. If that comparison's too rich for you, then how about gestural drawings? Would you buy that? Your photographs are gestural drawings. Can't deny me that one, John.

We naturally deplore the relative scarcity of your signature titles in this essay. I know you had no choice in this context, but your titles are actually my favourite pleasure at DPC. Not kidding.

Thank you.

the trick is in how to tell the story. you tell your stories by charging into them. you start wide and end close up. it's a thrill ride.

John, very enjoyable shorts. Kind of like little picture flip books showing the everyday reality. This is my favorite kind of street photography because it documents our time. A very nice contribution to the February essays.
