Michael does phenomenal work and has been an inspiration to me. What I like most about his photographs is a technique that he calls 'cramming.' In essence, he opens his macro lens to the widest aperature and crams it into something. This technique creates what I call differential focus. It can certainly be hit and miss as I've found it, but the technique can also yield some beautiful artful photographs. Cramming is well worth your time and effort, if you're a photographer.
Below are my attempts at some basic cramming

Remember to keep clicking that shutter, because if you aren't clicking, you're just holding an expensive black box that makes lots of noises.
Please don't pirate my images. I've worked hard to make them. Please enjoy them, but don't steal them.
