[Leica] Nick Brandt's Inherit the Dust

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I have all three of his books. I was just blown away when I first saw his work published in Lenswork, and subsequently by the first book, but I must admit, that to me, he has just been rehashing the same photographic style and has got monotonous since. My view is that though his intentions are very laudable, and worthy of full support, his photography has stagnated in its development. 
Cheers
