Finally found this book by one of my favourite photographers.
Very nice book - large images, beautifully printed.
Unlike most of his work that I know, you can see his use of different lenses and filters to play with effects and perspective. Most of his other work seems to be fairly straightforward from this point of view.
What I like about his photographs is that they are not easy. As you look, you can think about the structure he was trying to work with, about the trigger for that particular point of view, about his diffused, hidden focus within the picture, about the seeming surface chaos and lack of structure. A metaphor for life...
Interesting to think about the parallels visually, structurally and intentionally between this body of work and the collection of store window photos - refraction of focus, layers hidden behind layers, a surface of chaos over deeper structures.
Find again.
