Oblivious to the world, this professorial ghostly figure continues his reading on Egyptian hieroglyphics as modern civilisation rises and falls around him.

HEY Damon, I walked along with you in your street photos. All the way back to the start of the big photo session. GRITTY, GRIMY, INTENSE, EVOCATIVE, FUNNY, and very very urban... As a series you rocked it. And B&W for the street is to me the only way to go. Some single images were weaker than others but taken as a whole very compelling stuff.
