Frames where the subject matters less than the shape it makes: repetition, texture, line and surface, sometimes cropped until the original object is gone.

Buildings and the parts of them worth standing still for: façades, stairwells, concrete, glass, the geometry a structure makes against the sky.

Photographs developed without colour, where tone and contrast carry the frame.

The Donaucenter in Neu-Ulm.

Factories, plants, yards, pipework — places built for machines rather than for people to look at.

Land, water and weather, with the horizon doing most of the work.

Deliberately rough frames: toy optics, heavy grain, light leaks, and other ways of not making a clean photograph.

Close enough that the subject fills the frame and depth of field becomes the main constraint.

Made with a neutral-density filter, trading light for a long exposure.

Wide frames, wides lenses or sometimes stitched from several exposures.

Frames with someone in them, either as the subject or as the figure that gives a space its scale.

Frames assembled from several exposures rather than captured in one, which is how most of the panoramas were made.

The last hour of light.

Frames processed from several exposures into one, to hold both the highlights and the shadows.

Streets, squares, infrastructure, and the city seen from inside it.
