I always enjoyed his photo of the backside of a nude women leaning  
over sink in a cottage with the window open beside her. What a simple  
photograph that really engaged me.  Never sure why some photos just  
grab your attention and never let go - as if you just can't look at it  
enough to satisfy your curiosity. Perhaps that's the hallmark of a  
great photograph.
