a few other things. there is a photographer named Peter Bialobrzeski ( http://www.bialobrzeski.de/ ) whose work is perhaps the only stuff that i hold in as high a regard as Doyle's. But then I'm pretty ignorant about photography (someone please recommend some stuff!).
also does anyone have any good online resources or books or anything that provides a very good reference for photography and how to achieve different looks (color temps, processing techniques, different film stocks)? basics.
aaaaand... just out of curiosity, what does a guy like doyle get paid? or cinematographers in general (esp. in relation to regular photographers)?

if i can save 10 bucks on the wong kar wai collection by just buying them all but days of being wild individualy, should i do it? it's not really a big deal, but i've heard not so great things about the movie.

He does well with WKW and a lot of the other Asian filmmakers bc he tends to work best in improvisational mode. It's not that he can't make decent shots otherwise - however, the constraints of a Hollywood system tend to limit his range considerably. Most of his Hollywood work consists of films I've seen that I had no idea he shot until looking up the IMDb list.
By his own admission he had no clue what he was really doing until mid-way through the Days of Being Wild shoot. The fact that anyone knows who he is today is bc he met Edward Yang during his drinking exploits, and Yang had the courage and faith to have him, virtually without any experience, as his DP - this ultimately led to a union showdown just to be allowed to bring Doyle on-set. (I say none of this to disparage - I heard it all fro the horse's mouth.)
And as far as influences go, although I have no idea, I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if he had no clue who those people named above were.
He's an amazing DP, but only when given the space to be so.
