Description:
Short introduction to the works of this photographer who "simultaneously piloted a plane while photographing out the window-traveling above every state and many parts of the world," was "the first aerial photographer to earn the prestigious Guggenheim Award," and who died in August 2006. Includes a small gallery of images that reveal how his "aerial photographs resemble abstract expressionist paintings or views through a microscope."  From the Getty Museum.
