· 3 pulledI found his work during the Winter Olympics this year where, for reasons best explained by him, he decided to shoot the event in part using a Leica R8 with a digital back.
It's a 10 megapixel Kodak sensor it's not even full frame uh it's completely wild they didn't have a reputation for being super duper reliable when they were new let alone over 20 years later but his images are stunning.
He is a really thoughtful and interesting photographer.
