? Time, dissected. Washington photographer Bruce McKaig hangs extended- exposure pinhole camera prints alongside grids of digital stills the size of postage stamps, all documenting the same scene over several hours. His works describe both the places he documents -- in this case, everyday workplaces -- and the passage of time. Neither proves particularly compelling. Extended pinhole exposures that render passing figures as apparitions offer mild interest, while digital stills chronicling office workers at their desks seem like portraits of monotony.
