This series of pictures originates with surrealist artist Henri Michaux - some done under the influence of mescaline or cannabis. For me the first picture resonates with doing the Butoh practice known as Eaten By Insects a creation of Hijikata Tatsumi. It has an ecstatic feel to it. As do they all.

Martin Parr (1952-2025) has passed away. He was the most recognizable name in contemporary photography, a former president of Magnum and an inspiration for millions. On this very sad occasion, I'm sharing with you some of his earlier, and a bit lesser known black&white work.
