    As an older photographer who arrived late to the party, I think I've landed on my new mantra. "Hay Tiempo." Thank you Graeme, as always, for this excellent series.

    In the words of Alvarez Bravo, "you might be right!" I continue to appreciate your complex and probing videos which go far below surface explanations of great photographers and photography.

    One of my favourite photographers. Thank you Graeme. There were several fresh and simulating insights for me in your video.

    Great video about Bravo's work. The glimpse of color at the end, I had seen that book in a book store before but forgot about it. Glad you included that.

    Wonderful study and story here. One small lesson to learn from these photos is how to get images in the noonday sun. Thanks so much!

    Love the concept of “the lingering moment.” Thank you.

    Very interesting, thank you! I hadn't heard of Mr Bravo or seen bios work (or if so, had forgotten!).

    Thankyou for the video. I reacted to one of the photos. One of them is from Graciela Iturbide, not him. The one with the birds in the churchyard.

    Hi, nice video. At 1:33, that is a photograph by Graciela Iturbide, not MAB.

    The picture referencing the painter's use of light looks more Caravaggio than Vermeer, to me.
    Great video!

    I look forward to your informative, and insightful profiles. Would you consider doing a feature on the remarkable Canadian photographer, Arnaud Maggs?

    Thank you for the video. You are giving me a masterclass in photo history. Some picturs stile is close to what I want to do

    Tiempo well spent. Such a gentle soul.
    So many images are tonally flat, which maybe adds to their humble presence. I wonder if we have generally evolved a preference for higher contrast. Was that style of printing a choice or a reflection of what was available to him?

    • @PhotoConversations

      I think that the idea of getting a full zone in one's printing was more valued in those days. But I'm not sure if it was his particular preference.

    7:25 Of course they believed that on order to be a true surrealist you have to believe you aren't one 😁
    Makes perfect sense if you don't think about it. It's very deep.
    The art world policing itself can be funny sometimes.
