Beautiful sense of color, and eye.
THis is one of my favourites http://www.mitchepstein.net/work/city/detail_05.html
this one is a bit short of what could be a masterful image http://www.mitchepstein.net/work/vietnam/detail_07.html in my opinion.
This one was in Audubon, haunting. http://www.mitchepstein.net/work/ame...detail_01.html
I also love the simplicity and elegance of this.

Some of the pictures on the website look interesting. But the fine print says "70x92 inches", which gives pause.Quote:

I couldn't see any child in the image,I think it is in the background to the right.
He is also a very talented and accomplished cinematographer. The one thing that I know I have seen of his (he may have been 2nd unit DP) was Salaam Bombay. In fact he and Mira Nair were married for a spell. It was interesting to see how his color sensibility, as I had known it from his pictures, infused that whole film.
Also, his book about his family's furniture business in Holyoke, MA coming to an end is amazing.
I know he also uses 8x10 for some of his work (he got outbid on my Phillips Explorer when i sold it and we then had a conversation about where he could get one as he was looking for a lighter camera).
imo, Mitch is one of today's more interesting photographers. His work is often very 'quiet" and subtle
Kirk,
Thanks for posting this, I have enjoyed his work very much.
