Did you look at his other galleries? If you do, you may find an  
photographer who explores deeply a number of different subjects. I  
appreciate his numerous explorations for their photographic qualities  
as well as their aesthetic appeal.

The fact that his interiors are lit by a pinhole in a window makes  
the images photographically accurate in two ways. I find that simple,  
elegant, eloquent and absolutely fascinating - visually.

For me "different" doesn't grab my attention. The photographic  
accuracy and beauty grabs my attention and holds it long enough for  
me to feel myself in the room for these extremely long exposures  
which reveal all the subtle details of both the room's interior and  
the world outside the room. The concept of making a room into a  
camera and standing within that camera-room and photographing it with  
a view camera which itself is a tiny room quite like the room I'm  
standing in - well - it's all quite photographically marvelous and  
beautiful. The individual prints express a remarkable sensibility to  
time and space, architecture and more.
