Ian, have you professionally published your work for documentary magazines before?

Hi choeN,

 

My work has been published and is in various collections, and has been exhibited, but not specifically in 'documentary magazines', by which I assume you mean journals dedicated to photography, as opposed to illustration with a magazine article.

You really put the modern photographers to shame. I mean those with gadgets that could be modified into spaceships, who seem to be more worried about technicalities (exposure in midnight for that wonderful light streak etc) rather than producing images that speak, images with empathy.

 

Have you had any collections published into a book form before? I am a fan already :)

A story well documented. A tale well told. Good!

Ian,

I'm another fan of yours. You might wanna consider putting your best works into a book.

Cheers, Arthur

... i was just wondering why THIS had to be your last image on photo.net ... black humor?

Last image? I do hope not! I am very happy to see this upload with the variety of expressions and faces, as always in an interesting context and with superb contrast/tonality. I could look at your pictures all day and still find new aspects in each picture which I missed before. That empty bed is just begging to be filled. I see this picture as a definite 'black comedy' contender. The children as subjects make it even blacker, but with a sense of gripping irony. Such is life.
