...photographed ordinary things around the house and gave them such a rich depth of tone that they seemed beautiful, like abstract art. He called a photo of an egg whisk Man after himself and the whole of humanity. And he created new techniques, including the Rayogram: the contours of everyday objects magically emerge on paper without anything actually being photographed.

Although there is an established national church in the U.K., the tangible effect of religion on contemporary culture has faded, mirroring neighbors such as France. And indeed, Shariah is intensely rooted in the everyday existence of Muslims, so to suggest that there may be similarities between British law and Islamic religious mores seems farfetched at first.
