...Shinjuku, Tokyo's equivalent of New York's Greenwich Village or London's Soho, the facades of at least 1,000 clubs throw off all the colors of the rainbow. Inside, the thermostats seem to have been raised, not lowered; customers peel off their jackets, and even the bikini-clad B-girls perspire in the heat. At a restaurant on the Ginza, the headwaiter reports a more-frenzied-than-usual pace of drinking.

The pictures in his current exhibition at SoHo's Emmerich Gallery all involve the general experience, if not the detail, of landscape-not as seen by the eye's perspective, with sky at the top and earth below, but as though taken apart and rewoven into an expansive shifting pattern of space.
