Hardly anyone is capable of this lyrical sleight-of-hand, this Three Card Monte where the Queen (or the Joker) is always right there hiding in plain sight. Surely no-one at DPC other than John Modricker can do this stuff?

Maybe there's a little bit of Daido Moriyama about these Zen-like observations, this free verse from the suburban streets. I reckon he (Daido) might recognise and appreciate the deeper emotional potential of the suburban rather than city settings.

Maybe it's not Moriyama at all that I'm thinking of. Maybe it's Leonard Cohen. But maybe it's both.

10. Thank you.

I can't tell exactly what the story is here. I can't even tell approximately. Do you know what a welcome delight that is?

Photographs that excite and bewilder and provoke are the best kind. They are engaging. And they are again engaging tomorrow, and the next day as well, and always for a slightly different reason. So they are durable, too.

After more than 50 years of taking photographs I am convinced beyond redemption that photographs that are perfect, complete, and easily comprehensible are as well forgotten. Life's too short to waste much of it on that stuff. So thank you.
