100 SURREAL STREET PHOTOGRAPHS - B&W

David Mar Quinto (PH)
If surrealism is putting an umbrella on a sewing machine,
then putting a car on high heels is as ingenious as it gets.
The fact is that David is creating fireworks. They last only for
seconds but they have a great impact and, sometimes, we can
get them with us.
This last part makes them memorable enough to survive the
critique of the purists.
Some will say: they are "hotel lobby" artwork. But I would add
"with a twist". Splitting the time in two (a motionless part and a
moving part) is his favoured game. The moving part is so
important for the author that we wonder if he wouldn't prefer
cinema over photography.
We cannot deny the high technical qualities of his images and
the fact that these long-exposure "snapshots" are the fruit of
much patience and a keen eye.
Are you looking for more? I am not! I'd put oversized prints on
my wall to remind me that still simple is beautiful and that
simple is complex to conceive and even more complex to
implement with precision.
