Just to clarify...

Here are photo collections on flickr:

And here are his Rome pictures (I can't wait!):

I definitely recommend going to the different collections site and checking them out.

Just catching up on my over-stuffed RSS feeds folder! I checkout out that site and it looks like he does a lot of HDR, which is basically three pictures taken at a long, short and normal exposure and then blended into one. (Gotta use a tripod.) The wider the range in times, the more sorta illustrated or computerized it looks. He looks like he uses a wide-ish range. I just learned about this last year, and what I find interesting is that they say this range is closer in detail than regular photography to what the eye naturally sees. I'll stop rambling now and dump some links on you:

This food photographer/blogger occasionally does some low-range stuff that I love. I wish I could frame that melon picture: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/001392.html

Thanks for the links! I'll check them out right now!
