Men have got more of a discerning eye. They appreciate cut and details, things that aren't so obvious. They like things that have cachet and gentlemanliness.

I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.

I can see one of them clearly now, walking
along with a newspaper tucked under his arm.
he has cut himself shaving and a bit of tissue
with a circle of blood is stuck to his cheek,

I got a bit enamoured with bigger houses and things like that.

He had a discerning eye, and a narrative is built into his photographic record. By the places he went to and what he photographed, he is showing the aftermath on significant structures, as well as the recovery and people getting their lives back together.

I appreciate men like Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins very much.
