Nathan,
I don't find his work too thrilling either. But remembering art school, I
think he was credited w/
moving "serious" fine art photography from exclusively b/w to include color.
He is often grouped w/ Meyerowitz for style and subject matter. At the time
I think his work was considered groundbreaking, but now perhaps it's
difficult to see that.
Anyway, just thought I'd chime in(got to put that art stuff to some use!)
