Although I generally loathe photo manipulation work, he manages to make his stuff gritty and effectively sculptural and retains a corporeality which is often lacking in digital photography. Transforming his photos into animation is an interesting move, adding a new kind of gestural quality, and providing a very different layer to his already complex work.
At some point I'll actually try to write something intelligent about this. Until then, you can check out his website.
