Jochen Lempert: The photographic seer
Jochen Lempert's exhibition "Fieldwork" at the Izu Photo Museum has an ageless feel to it. The intentionally low contrast pictures of wildlife and natural phenomena almost look like they could be archive photos unearthed from the mid-19th century.

This ability to straddle and connect the seemingly disparate is a key point in Lempert's work, and is possible through a careful attention to the details of presentation.
