He's clearly been to some really cool places, but none of the photos that I saw on the website were really aesthetically exceptional. Yah the colours are vivid and the locations are superb but so what? There was little interpretation of the scene, Rowell just happens to take a snapshot of a really nice place. Pretty photos yes, but no more than that. I could care less if he used a Leica or a Nikon or a Voigtlander. Jonathan Lee
