Thank you Thomasz for this Michael Penn presentation. Always good to see the work of photographers that I did not see in a detailed way.
Yesterday I visited an exposition of the Japanese artist DAIDO MORIYAMA at the recently opened new venue of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson ( Rue des Archives 79 ) in Paris. I was impressed by his artistic and theoretic work.
Maybe a good idea to present MORIYAMA to a wider public in your Photosnack series?
But that’s rather the point, George. I’m not particularly interested in three plates of food either — I’m interested in the way Michael Penn consistently sees and photographs the city: the density, the contrast, the roughness, the strange little collisions of everyday life. One photograph taken out of context can look like almost anything; a body of work tells you much more.

Moriyama is one of my "personal heroes".
Is this a frigging joke? A picture of three plates of food? You class this as good photography? Don't give up the day job.

And no worries — I’m keeping the day job.
