I was first attracted to AJP's photography because of the strong feeling that I got of his sense of a place, Liverpool and Merseyside, but my respect for him, his mind, his talent, has grown far far beyond that. His work shrinks oceans and eliminates borders. I've watched him grow as a photographer, witnessed his embrace of the film medium that was my, necessary, introduction to photography, decades ago. The passersby in his photographs aren't just elements in interesting compositions, but are fellow citizens in our world, a world that AJP has managed to make both closer and richer.
