"Benjamin makes art. His photographs are worthy of being turned into poster-size prints that belong in an exhibit, with or without the humans in them. But moreover, he is the kindest person we've met in Bend. If you're fortunate enough to shoot with Benjamin, you'll end the day with an art piece and a new friend."
