Excellent video! thanks for posting the link, Bob. I first ran into his work when he was giving a talk at Santa Clara University and showing the photos he made of the Nazi death camps in the SCU gallery, about Fall of 2004. I think I went back to that exhibit four times. I've since looked at everything of his I can find. Not all of his work is to my taste, but enough of it that he's one of my favorite photographers today.
