Magnificent photography

Matthew Weinreb is an incredible photographer of architecture. I was searching for a photo book on London architecture and this one surpasses all that I came across. Take note that while there are chapters indicating that a particular material is being document (such as tile, terra cotta, etc), Weinreb wanders from the chapter's focus after 2 or 3 photos. I like this because it shows an eccentricity. I have two other books by him, and they are equally amazing. He's a great natural light photographer.
