"The way he makes simple objects seem exquisite through his photography provides a fresh outlook on the normal" remarked art attendant Marsha King. "He takes the ordinary and changes it into the extraordinary." Whether Nassau's photographs are of trees in Waterloo Park, the Alvin Woods Building in springtime, or a frog, they reveal peace and tranquillity in life. "These pictures reflect strongly my desire to find and preserve the beautiful things in this world that is often so unpleasant" commented Nassau.
