Re: [Digital BW] Not Ansel

Hello John,

>I'm curious; do believe the photography is the "finest" because of
the exotic and unusual locations and subjects, or is there something
about the "photography" itself, ie; composition, lighting, etc.

I was blown away by the impact of his work.  Composition and lighting
in particular on the technical side, but also his instincts,
compassion, sense of timing, humor, emotional impact.  Is like Bresson
Erwit and Salgado rolled up together in color.  Touched me very
deeply.

I love photography, been doing it since age 8, and spend a lot of time
looking at other's work, both on line and in my library of books
purchased over the years.  I like and appreciate many types of work,
from street shots to fine art landscape by the masters to Karsh
portraiture to Diana kitsch in Shots magazine.  I prefer BW over color
(most color work bores me) but this trancends that and is simply some
of the best photography I've ever seen.  I spent over two hours last
night viewing the entire web site, and the impact of it continued to
grow on me.  I went back this morning for another look.  Great stuff.
 I rank him among the best.

Regards,
Clayton
