"We've run some amazing photos over the last 45 years, but as soon as we saw Mike's Living Images, we were completely blown away. The stills are gorgeous and cinematic to begin with, but the real beauty of his living images comes from the subtlet of the motion – the way he captures the ripple of a passing shadow, a light breeze on blades of grass or strands of hair. These aren't like animated gifs – the action in the frame has this magical, Hogwarts-like hyperreality to it, and the images themselves are HD-sharp. On a technical level, what he's done with HTML-5 video is way ahead of just about everyone. When we show the images to other photographers, they go slack-jawed and say, 'How the hell did you do that?' We think this is what DSLR and HTML5 are headed for, fast."
