"If my pictures work at all, at their best they suggest these tenuous relationships," the photographer says, adding: "I want the ephemeral connections between unrelated things to vibrate."

i was just watching this yesterday.....really enjoyed his thoughts on perception. i also am gaining appreciation for his photographs, which look better and better every time i see them. he captures atmosphere and activity beautifully in his photography.

Thanks for the pointer - an excellent little video. JM talks(and writes) exceptionally well about photography. I saw him give a show - an illustrated lecture? an exhibition? an audience? - in London some years back and he was simply brilliant, completely engaging and compelling to listen to.

 

I also recommend his little Phaidon 55 selection - not primarily for the pictures, because while a great selection they are very small, but for the few sentences he writes about each. Some wonderful insights into technique, vision, method and so on.
