If you don’t know his work or his blog, go look at those right now too. I’ve always enjoyed his pictures (I mean, how can you not love a guy who lugs a 4×5, and all sorts of other crazy cameras, around everywhere alongside his digicams?) but this video is the icing on top… this is a fun, creative bit of filmmaking.
