I just looked through my old entries and November 23, 2003 was the first time I mentioned photographer Matt Stuart. That was almost 5 years ago... where did the time go?!? bleh.
To this day, I still love his work. Somehow his sense of style reminds me of Pod's. I think their work exposes and reveals the mystery from our every day life... it's like all the things we see, yet we don't take notice. The beauty of the arcane! There are many other photographers that I know here like Lola, Steven, Jason, Derek and Bridie, yet we all take on different approach and agenda. I think it's always so wonderful to see new work... It's what keeps me going!
BTW, thanks SO much Lola for the letter that you sent me last week. I apologize for taking so long to write back. I have not forgotten and am working on my reply! That was such a lovely gesture. Seriously, I just don't know how to top a 4-page handwritten letter!?! Or was it 5? :-)
Take care and have a great week everyone.

Hi Robert! I'm back from the blooging dead, so to speak. Just saying hi :-)
OKay, de ja vue moment? Thank you for the long txt - it's just as long as a 4 -pages handwritten letter. but you know me, trying to save a Dime for greater cause - more band-aids.
The photography - what caught your attention the most? For me, it's the old guy in the middle, checking out the mysterious hoodie man. :)

I feel an inspiration coming on!
Thank you Robert for sharing Matt's work with us. It was truly inspiring!
And, you are so welcome for the letter. Ithink I'm the only one in Canada still contributing to the income of our official Post Office. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Cheers!

I like Stuart's photography - striking and observant of the quirkiness of everyday life, without being overly ironic. Thanks for the link... I like your blog design.

What caught my attention first were the women and their concerned look and their hands covering their mouths. I thought you may have been touching on a tragic event when I first saw it.

I like that black and white photos. They seem more whimsical.
