“In the world of puzzles, only a few people have the ability to create an original, elegant, well-designed challenge and present it with great artistic sense. And when that artistic sense is photographic… well, I can think only of one living ‘puzzle person’ who has it — Walter Wick”
—Will Shortz, Crossword Editor, The New York Times
