Photographer Tom Lee pictures a very wrinkled old man with white hair and watery eyes holding a cigarette to his mouth with an old worker's hand

Photographer Winston Sturgen transforms and combines landscape elements in such a way as to make them appear unearthly, changing rocks, trees and sky so much they challenge what we think we know.

Tom Lee: "... I think the disability has slowed me down to the point where I'm much more reflective and I'm much more observant than if I'd just be rushing around. And it also provided me with a creative outlet that I needed. And everybody has to have some kind of form of self-expression. And photography was what I was looking for.Before my injury I was a musician, played the guitar, and wasn't able to do that. But photography... photography and music have some links and it's a good form of self-expression."
