I think he amplifies the buildings he shoots into a new zone of perceptual reality/experience. And with a nod to Australia Day yesterday – the Sydney Opera house show below is another favourite:

  1. Check out the new book about him that came out last year. His is a marvelous story of architecture and photography!
