Wow, a hard crowd here!  

Nathan doesn't even want to look at the photos; others complain about the 
use of flash; others about chimping; still others about not engaging the 
subject. Get real, guys.  There are at least two people facing the 
subject(s), Sobol and Sun Hee Engelstoft, whose cinematography is fantastic 
and shows talent, by the way. So, we're seeing the actual shoot, but, 
obviously we don't have an idea of what interaction there was with the 
subjects before or after.

There are lots of different types of photography and Sobols, like that of 
Daido Moriyama and Address Petersen is unsentimental and "un-exquisite" ? 
it's what I like about it.
