Standing in the Dark, Catching the Light
by possibly noteworthy at 11:48 am EDT, Oct 22, 2006

Take this, D2X and your eight frames per second!

Since abandoning modern cameras about a decade ago, he has worked exclusively with pinhole cameras and, his current preference, their room-size equivalents. He typically constructs them himself out of wood. Like the German artist Vera Lutter, who may be the most famous practitioner in this medium today, he is drawn to the monumental. Unlike Ms. Lutter, who favors industrial subjects, he prefers landmarks set under wide, open, romantic skies worthy of Ansel Adams, whom he credits as an early influence.

The last photo in the set, "Shanghai, 2004", is the best.

This month he is directing his panoramic lensless cameras at California landmarks: the Hollywood sign, then the San Francisco skyline, Golden Gate Park and the Donner Pass.
