1.  All of Jude's photos in this series are taken outdoors which indicates that he most likely used a low ISO, quick shutter speed given that they are all in daylight and some of them snow.  Theres no sign of a flash in his photos since the late afternoon light seemed to provide the gloomy feel he was going for.

2.  Since the series is called The Poetry of Elsewhere, the thematic intents are clearly the rugged outdoors and the actual real world that is out there other than our busy city lives.  All of these photos are of the beauty of nature with a small sign of human interaction.  Given the name, he is really trying to express how just mother nature is so beautiful in itself and that there is a whole other world out there that most people will never experience.

3.  Since I love to always be outdoors, and especially taking photos outside, I really enjoyed the beauty of these simple, yet deep pictures that express what life is like outside our city limits and where our world really began.  The low light adds the feeling of being outside in the cold with him, or down by the water just listening to it flowing by.
