Neighborhood Photographer Stops Time

ANDREW HALL GETS SHORT - 1/8,000th of a second short - with his subjects. From today's LA Times West magazine: "After moving from London to Los Angeles in 2005, Hall, 44, set up his studio in a former cosmetics factory in Atwater Village. He takes his pictures in total darkness, controlling what he can, including the method and speed of the pour, as well as when to activate the flash."
