i can't believe ive come across another impressive photographer working on Newfoundland subjects.  I mean, i can believe it, but i think, looking at the quality of the work that you'll just be blown away by this guy.  In a way, it's about time we had a true presence in the world of the art-photograph, Newfoundland pictures being, (in general), so derivative, often inapropriately scenic, and, in the case of people like Ben Hansen, being generally crappy; shot with no regard for technique or light.  Our painting and mixed-media is first-class, so the more of this, the better.  Can anyone think of a truly talented Newfoundland photographer? Fill us in. 

This also pertains strongly to the Huddle, as it's from his exhibit at the Christina Parker Gallery (possibly a book as well?), called All The Clubs From Holyrood To Brigus.  He's also a visiting philosophy prof at NYU, and he's done some stuff i recognize from a book he did about resettlement. (Why are all the good photogs all CFAs? Do we have a peculiar way of underestimating some of the Newfoundland "scenery?")
