I purchased four of his prints (printed by Alan Ross) to see if I was missing something, and then decided I was probably finding him technical and cold mainly because I had seen too many imitators. They must have had an entirely different impact when they first came out. But then I cannot see what drives people to like William Eggleston or Diane Arbus either, to name a couple of acclaimed photographers. The former seems to revel in taking meaningless snapshots, while the latter is so exploitative that it revolts me!
