My previous comment was brought on by seeing his work in the context of 'traditional' photojournalists. No movement, totally still pictures. His photography is almost working totally in the realm of redirected semiotics. I remember watching a documentary byt he Open University in the UK which was ostensibly about how to do a PhD and one of the examples that was used was someone interviewing Parr for a project. He rejected any kind of 'intent or 'reading' in his work. Julian
