It's interesting to see his work improve over the years. I imagine the improvement is in part from the advancements in photography equipment.<p>What I don't understand is how anyone can draw/paint anything that realistic. Especially his most recent work. I doubt I would even be able to tell had I not know that wasn't a photo.
It would be interesting to see some of his works in greater detail, eg. using Gigapan zoom (see <a href="http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27105" rel="nofollow">http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=27105</a> for a photographic example).
It's a shame that he doesn't paint something more compelling than ketchup. Photographers can create truly astonishing work based only on what they get through a lens. With his technique he could produce even more impressive and thought-provoking images, and that would be worth much more artistically, IMO.
