So reads Craig Hickman's short description of his latest photo project.

Imagine the bastard love-child of Misrach's Seguaros and The Bechers' Watertowers. Better yet, you don't have to imagine. Here's a sampling:

typologies succeed in their banalities, im not sure about the post processing for these. isnt it an 'objective' look?
Craig could probably comment better on this but my understanding is that they haven't been heavily post processed. Craig shoots them mid-day. The background is underexposed a few stops and the flash brightness is increased. You can see other examples of this applied to flowers and twigs on Craig's site: www.dryreading.com
