You can check out some of his work
on his site:

http://jameswhitlowdelano.com/

I agree, his work is terrific. Inexplicably
under-recognized, to my mind, but since
he's a friend I am not impartial. It never ceases
to impress me that he does the bulk of his 
black and white work with just one body and 
one lens.  He mastered the use of Agfa paper
and was in despair when it disappeared.
