 Jeez, what are we going to do?  Round up Christian and burn him at the stake
 because of his reaction to the esteemed Mr. Welch's photos?  Christian merely
 stated his personal reaction to Eric's photos.  He never said Eric was a
 crappy photographer or that he himself was one of the worlds foremost
 imagemakers.  Also, if I'm not mistaken, English is not Christian's primary
 language; you or I might have worded our reaction a little differently.  Give
 the guy a break.Although I enjoy many of Eric's images and am glad he shares
 them, I feel no obligation to be moved by his work because he is a
 professional and has been recognized by his peers.
 I don't think it's right to jump in someone's s***t just because they don't
 have a positive reaction to a photographer's work and say so.
