Gary Schneider article from NY Times

I found a nice 2004 article on Gary Schneider from the New York Times on the web. Here's an excerpt:

Inspired by [Julia Margaret] Cameron, Mr. Schneider began making ''durational portraits'' of his friends and relatives. He had them lie supine in the dark. For up to 30 minutes, he explored their faces part by part, with a flashlight, while the camera shutter was open. With such a long exposure, you can't control what comes out, he said. In 1996, using this technique, he made one of his best-known works, a facial portrait, shot in bits and pieces, of his companion, John Erdman, ''John in 16 Parts.''
