He lists himself as writer/photographer, and mentions a gallery and (as I recall) an agent, but doesn't show any of his own photographs, or not that I could discover -- which seems odd. (And does leave one curious.)http://wayneyang.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/seurat-as-street-photographer/ This link gives more comparisons with Seurat as photographer. In any event, thanks -- very interesting. PS. Also very interesting, we saw Persepolis last night, now at the Angelika, a mere 15 minute walk away (unlike friends going to LA. New Hampshire, et al, for the holidays). It was sublime. Highly recommended. But tho I daresay photographs were reference for some of the backgrounds, the drawings did not seem at all "photographic" -- or not to my eyes. J.
