I think that the problem is that we are so used to seeing photojournalism (which is often said to be a dying art form) invading our homes on a daily basis through the medium of newspapers, TV and the Net. As a result we become blaise about it and are always looking for the 'new image'. You only have to compare the standard of this work with the bland work that was in the average Life magazine to see that progress has been made. The problem I had with the site was the appallingly slow loading speed of it.
