    Two of my favorite images:
    - 5 Horses
    - Nebraska

    lots of other minimal scenes I like. and one of some grasses that has lovely curving lines with foreground and background and a road and hills... nice and golden!
    Sorry I have to return it to the library already, I will be trying to check it out again soon!

    He's been featured twice on Lenscratch. As to whether he shoots film or digital, I think this quote should answer that question:

    His precisely crafted prints are the result of an exceptional vision, original darkroom technique and an extraordinary sense of story.

    Some of the photos are spectacular. The message is also important. I was impressed by the quality of the suit of the interviewer, very well dressed.

    I'll put in another plug for getting your local Library to update their collection with books like this. Ours is a small town and they have LensWork magazine as well - my Uncle pays for the subscription and after two years on the shelves they sift out the older year and give it to him. Works all the way around. A lot of artists and art lovers like being able to see the magazine.

    I know he has also donated Morley Baer, Bruce Barnbaum and other fine photography books to the Library. They did get HOLD STILL, by Sally Mann for their collection after he showed them a copy. It does get checked out.

    Small town libraries can always use help, so why not some books we like?
