In my first view of the essay, the composition of picture 2 brought Alex Webb to mind. As I went on viewing the rest of the series, I was conscious of a mental comparison with Webb. But I recognize that I may be going off the deep end here because the intent in this essay and the Webb book is probably quite different. My feeling is that these issues are worth reflecting on by photographers.

Excellent photos. Tight edit. I agree with those who observed that the photos seem to be over sharpened, though. For sure you are correct about both photographers. Alex Webb I have always regarded as intellectual rather than emotional. Tomasz is a bit different normally albeit in this essay it is true that he is somewhat disconnected emotionally….

So I see this Tomasz essay as excellent seeing and visual literacy, yet not up close and personal as in some of his previous work…. I think this is simply a function of this particular essay. In Gypsies for example Tomasz is the opposite of here.. When I look at a book, or an essay, or any set of pictures, I just do not expect to see everything that could have been done actually done…I take it for what it is…One must go one way or another way and cannot go all ways simultaneous….

So this is this, and Gypsies is that, and I await his next song….. For much of recorded history, East Asian countries China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam read and wrote in Chinese characters in vertical lines from top to bottom, right to left, as you observe. Sometimes individual lines of text were written horizontally, as in shop signs or headlines or signposts, in which case the writing was from right to left.

As someone who did not grow up with this system but started studying Asian languages in late adolescence, I always found accustoming my eyes to reading vertically top to bottom and right to left difficult and time consuming… after many decades, it is still not especially easy or natural for me. However, due largely to Western influence, these conventions started breaking down in the 20th century and particularly after World War II.

Many books and magazines are now printed with text running horizontally and read from left to right, just like in the West. I just pulled a random sampling of books in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese published within the last 30 years off my shelves and about half were written vertically right to left and half written horizontally left to right.

An educated person in Japan, Korea, or China needs to be able to read both ways. Vietnam adopted a heavily modified version of the Latin alphabet almost years ago and it is always written left to right. In East Asian art, golden section rectangles and squares also occur, but over the centuries the dominant formats are often very, even extremely, elongated compared to those in the West.

Being accustomed to visualize scenes in these formats is, to my mind, clearly related to reading and writing text in lines from top to bottom and needless to say, from right to left. Not sure how to best describe it but I know it when I see it. Judging from this essay, Tomaszewski is very good at it. I was thinking of writing a sentence, concerning the great discussion going on on BURN, but I have difficulties to place my simple respond on your site.

Here is a very simple text. I do hope that it is understandable. Tell me please what you think. I am delighted when I read these intelligent posts with many intriguing thoughts. Unfortunately I can not participate in the substantive discussion, because my level of English is away from your about 2 light-years. I can only say that photography was for me always a different way of thinking and serve to define my relationship to the world and my place in the world.

I must confess that I am delighted by the world. So far I still feel that I take part in some amazing miracle, and therefore I believe that taking pictures should not only rely on capturing the world as an object, but rather doing it the object by catching his otherness, his attractive peculiarities, and ultimately converting it in to the image.

It is the experience determines who we are. I believe that man is a cultural, not natural. What we have got from the nature, is nothing compared with what we acquired from the culture. I treat being my self the serious way, but not as a religion. They merely guarantee the survival of all other, including my self. Thank you for taking the time to comment here: Tomasz — and your English is better than my Polish!

I have long been a fan of your work, Tomasz; your obvious empathy for your subjects is always visible in your photographs. Thank you Mike, it is pure pleasure to read texts that contain the thoughts not associated with the technique only.

Indeed, the most important moral virtue is a commitment I think, because it indicates the seriousness of the subject. I always try to treat people as an entity, not as a subject of my story. They interested me the most, not the photograph of them. For me the most profound experience is the feeling of bliss of existence. The one who knows this feeling is usually the simple man, not a townsman, who, instead of being, keeps him self occupied by hard work and negotiations with others.

Thank you for posting such a lovely message. Amazing soulful images. Yea, lets take more black and white photos of exotic shit!
