Elevation 42 x 70" Ed. of 10, framed A resolutely minimalist and suggestive approach to get to the essential. Not trying to show a subject for what it is, but for what it expresses.

In photography, he is looking for simple pictures, which go straight to the subject core, with very few things in the frame.
