I saw Riddy's work at an exhibition in a local museum a couple of years ago. I was pretty much blown off my feet. Sometimes the work of a photographer just feels so...familiar. And executed to absolute perfection, too.

My girlfriend gave me this one for my birthday recently. It's gorgeous...
(Coincidentally, she found Riddy's photography completely boring and uninteresting. I can only pray for her soul.)
