I was lucky enough to pick up a "limited to 5000 copies" book he printed of the photos he took on the set of "The Big Lebowski" on eBay a few years ago and they're great. The coolest photos he takes involve getting actors to pose twice in the same photo for the theater "Tragedy & Comedy" faces; apparently, the camera's shutter speed (or whatever, I'm no camera expert) is slow enough a person could stand in one place, the photo be started, and then move over to the side and be in the photo again before it finishes being taken.

I hear he does this on almost every film he does. I don't know if you saw, but Matt Fox did something like this when they shot the LOST Pilot. Very interesting perspective. That’s pretty neat.
