There's something lovely about the simplicity of the still life. To some it is just an old tire patch kit. But to the artist it is a thing of beauty.

Another (very) long exposure done very well. What is interesting here is the contrast in texture with absolutely none in the water and the sharpness in the stones. I find the square presentation to be very appealing.

I find this image very appropriately titled. Long exposures have long been a creative technique in photography. This image uses it well without overdoing the effect. And combined with the twisted, unrecognizable hunks of metal it makes for a very ominous and beautiful image indeed.

There's something terribly Escher-esque about this, at least to my eye. I find the high contrast very pleasing and the person walking the stairs adds a nice human element to the image.
