I think the nice aspect about any produced creative piece is that we don't always have to agree on whether it is great work or not. Technically he's very good, but from an art perspective I don't get a sense of any sort of personal narrative... but again, that's my opinion.

Then 15 years later I saw his work in Green Bay, WI and I was stunned. I don't shoot what he shoots so there is no overlap or competition, but I remember telling a friend (also in the show and a direct competitor of his), that in my opinion, his images were "perfect".
