Love it! You're really rolling, Bob.

This series of evening suburban photos stand on their own for their unique lighting, direct composition and frank portrayal of our current suburban society. And that's enough.....but in twenty years they will also stand as nostalgic for older viewers and curious to the younger viewers. I think simply evoking nostalgia is a little of a cheap trick when that is all there is. It is overly sentimental, maybe. But when you can add nostalgia or the 'otherness' of older things to photos that already posses the characteristics mentioned above I think it is wonderful. These will age well I believe.

I'm partial to this kind of image -- urban artifacts. I especially like the idea of night scenes -- I've done a couple over the years, of gas stations, incidentally.

A casual viewer of today might think that these are simply reportage, straight journalism. But they are presented so carefully and so beautifully lighted as to be treated as monuments.

Good seeing, Bob.

Which reminds me, there's a beautiful old independent garage down the road I've been meaning to document since I moved into the neighbourhood last June. And the light is just right today!

There's a lot of Edward Hopper seeing in these, Eric. Bob's putting together some really fine stuff.

Yes, the Hopper vision is certainly there, but not imitative.
