So what were they shot with - I'm sure there's something there to tell
me, but I can't find it. ;-)

As to the photos, they are precisely what I'd expect in terms of the
technical perfection, framing, exposure, etc. And somehow I'm not all
that surprised by the subject matter - the subject matter he's now
associated with can become overwhelming after a while; I suspect he
needed a break.

But it's not what you'd expect--no ragged migrant
laborers, no starving children, no teenagers high on
khat waving AK 47s above their heads, no Leicas.

Not at all what you'd expect (unless you've seen his
recent Gal?pagos photos, which can also be viewed at
the address below).
