`O would some power the giftie gie us to see ourselves as others see us.' -Robert Burns
By Grady Harp
For those perhaps still unfamiliar with the artistry of Michael Ernest Sweet, he is a Canadian educator, writer, and widely published street photographer. The recipient of multiple distinguished awards such as a national recipient of both a Prime Minister's Award and The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in Canada for significant contributions to his country, he has been published in such magazines as Popular Photography, Black and White, and Fisheye. His debut book THE HUMAN FRAGMENT is an impressive sociologic statement and now he turns his Japanese toy Harinezumi camera (likely a trick to keep his elected figures he captures oblivious to his presence) to Coney Island where he manages to make a statement about American culture with a bite. Michael works and lives in both New York City and Montreal.
In a keen Foreword by famous photographer Bruce LaBruce the astute observer states, `Not everyone `has an eye', as the classic synecdoche has it, and not everyone has the sensitivity or intuitiveness, or perhaps even the perverse will and intention, to pursue a pure vision as an artists or photographer. So when someone like Michael Ernest Sweet makes a visual statement of such admirable consistency and acute perverseness, attention must be paid. With these Coney Island Photographs, Mr. Sweet pursues a relentless project of lurid color, composition, and perspective.'
The photographs Michael shares in this handsome book intentionally shadows the face so no one is `exposed' for their bizarre body forms or outfits. But what Michael captures is a vivid statement about the current plague of American obesity in all its plethoric abundance. Huge bells on both men and women are actually less offensive to the eye that the walking ripples of sagging fat that seep out of every opening in a swim suit. At first it is amusing and then it becomes a social comment that is disturbing. But that is the art of Michael's work - he offers us reality as seen through brilliant sunlight on Coney Island where the congregation when up and away form the beach towels is like headed toward the snack bar for more fast food infusions.
There are two sides to the traditional comedy/tragedy mask, and Michael captures both with gusto. He is an important artist who is growing into fame. See his images - and pause before slurping that Big Gulp. Grady Harp, May 15

A well blended mix of Meaning, Puns & Effects
By Olivier Duong
In this Photobook, Michael Sweet roams the beaches of Coney Island and gives us a body of work that has 3 things: Meaning, Puns & Effect. Something that is hard to do.
The effect is of course the over saturated colors, the lack of sharpness that gives the over all work a special look, but that isn't just for the effect. There is a high degree of grotesque in the work, something off beat. While the media wants to portray it's citizens a pretty, beautiful and flawless, Sweet's work presents them in a more real context, when all the guards are down, the effect really adds to this.
Throughout the images there are many subtle punctums, the punchline to jokes if you like. One that comes to mind is a shot of a woman on her towel. She's been obviously overcooked by the sun...until you realize that the towel she is on has a sun pattern.
What we relate to is a person's face but in this book the photographer chooses mostly to withhold that information and you are presented with the person's body, posture and personal objects. This forces us to examine our own biases, we judge people even by not seeing their faces!
I highly recommend this book, the photographs are visually unique, the content is like an off-beat beach "The Americans" with some nice puns sprinkled throughout. The joke is on us, I guess
