Josef van Wissem at Ubu Web

"Jozef Van Wissem's favorite compositional device is the palindrome.

The light was, well, limited. And I had to turn off the auto-focus light thing, because I was taking a lot of pictures and I didn't want to bother anyone. Luckily that meant most of the pictures were out of focus.
