[Leica] My artist's statement

[j2m46 at hotmail.fr (Jean-Michel Mertz)]

Chris, I've read your artist's statement but also your very interesting text 
on the role of documentary photography in art and history - for the second 
time, in fact. I think I've already told you I find your photographs first 
class, for their technical level, no doubt, but also for what they comment 
on the country you describe and for their long term value. Well, this text 
is a statement I can easily identify with because what you write about the 
role of photography is basically what we try - yes, try - to modestly do 
locally. What I find so true is the idea that the best pictures are not 
necessarily taken far from where one lives and that our surroundings offer 
ample room for a photographer's happiness and provide them with very good 
food for thought!Thanks and a very good photography year to you!Jean-Michel
