the biggest problem I have with it is the text that pops up on the site right over the top of the pictures on his site, pretty annoying
Anyway I remember seeing these some time ago and thinking if not quite my thing it was interesting, but I never realised he was claiming it to be "documentary" and writing all this bullshit about the beautiful spirituality of these unknowable peoples... but then his comment in that article is a bit different and if it's really pure aestheticism to him then maybe the rest is just marketing crap and I feel like the problem is not mainly a guy taking pretty romanticised pictures but the way in which they're then sold and the readiness of people to perceive them that way and buy them.
But most importantly this is the wrong thread as he shoots large format film.
