I am a fan of objective, deadpan or banal photography and understand the concept fully. The trouble is Roberts has not developed his own style in my opinion, and has appropriated techniques honed by other more respected photographers.
That is my problem with his work. He has taken the New Topographic aesthetic and not done anything with it. The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape show was in 1975. It's now 2010.
Look at Thomas Struth or Gerhard Stromberg.
