![]() I can continue to ruminate and extrapolate, but you get my point.Įvery photograph Richard makes appear simple yet they tell you a deeper story about who we are as humans and how we live in our society. It takes a great deal of life experience to recognize what he terms as the “odd moments” of life. Like a hamster, going through his motions. ![]() Not too different than the automat machines themselves. He makes money every day in his job, deposits it and then withdraws it. It looks routine: Like he’s been doing this all his life. But we know he is older by the way he is dressed, like the typical high-rise office worker- a kind of uniform complete with umbrella and valise. Think about it. We don’t see his face- he’s anonymous. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? Upon closer look, two signs read “Money In” and “Money Out”. ![]() At first glance, a balanced photograph of an interesting conservatively dressed man standing in front of the automat. I think the simplest one is the man at the bank deposit and automat (see below). Like a fine wine, you have to air it, swish it around and then drink it in order to experience its full breath. The juxtapositions are a mixture of simple and complex all at once. You can’t just scan through Richard’s images. While many street photographers can capture a funny juxtaposed moment garnering a quick belly laugh, Richard’s images draws you in for a long sustained chuckle that is often thought provoking. Richard’s work quintessentially defines the ‘decisive moment’, with a dry sense of irony and sarcasm. They have forged a path for all of us who want to learn and improve our own vision by establishing high standards with their own work as well as pro-offering the works of masters. And as such, he and his group have helped educate and bring recognition to a photographic art form that is currently enjoying a growing popularity and renaissance. If you don’t already know, Richard is one of the first members of in-Public, the first non-commercial street photography collective established in 2000.

I hope whoever wonders upon this small collection idea will take gratitude in viewing it in closer detail and possibly even opening their eyes in what kind of mapmaking is the good kind of mapmaking. The list is also for those people who might just be a bit too "blind" to understand what kind of time and effort true mapmaking takes or what are the kinds of maps which deserve a highlight in the spotlight for maybe being too underrated or for some other unknown reasons. These maps are some of those maps which made me feel like they definitely deserve a place on this list. Although I do definitely have some of my favorites, and those are the types of maps that make me feel feelings that common maps do not, like joy of seeing some more comedic creation and the overall feeling of positive attitude towards well-done maps. As many of my fellow and closer mapmaker friends know, I do have quite the taste for different types of maps and a more positive way critique them. ![]() This is a collection of maps which has been suggested to me for a long time. ![]()
