Originally posted by ubique: I'm not saying much about the essay. It's fun, diverting and good to the last drop. Yum. Can I have another cup, please? Others have reacted to your essay much as I'd have tried to do, so contributing one more of those doesn't much interest me. Instead, I'm commenting about you. You know that I've always appreciated your work. You must, from the many comments you've inspired from me. And I mean appreciated in both senses ... as in applauded and as in understood. Here's what I love, and it's demonstrated yet again in the idea for this essay: you have always used photography as a path to observation. And now I mean observation in both senses, as in seen and as in remarked upon. For you, photography doesn't seem to be anything more nor less than a language. Most photographers produce photographs that say, "Aren't I just amazing?" Your photographs say, "Aren't you curious?" Thank you for that difference.

That is so very kind of you, Paul. In a way it brings closure to something: you were the one to introduce me to Paolo Pellegrin's observation that an unfinished open-ended work allows viewers to chime in and take part in a dialogue around a photograph. I only try to incite a conversation, which more often than not I find to be way more interesting than the art or the artist.
