Call me nasty; call me tasteless; call me cruel... Normally I remain silent in the face of mundane, or boring, or nice but uninspired, or just plain crappy photo posts. In fact, most of the time I don't say anything unless I am really moved by a photo. But in the undoubtedly foolish belief that people really want honest comments when they post photos, and with the very loud and clear caveat that I am normally a real admirer of Steve Unsworth's work...(And with the further caveat that this group of photographers may be among the world's most talentless, but they happened to be hopelessly drunk or on drugs on the day in question ;-) )... I don't think I have ever seen such a basically crappy collection of snappy shots as is contained in that London shoot. With one exception - the shot of the mime and the kid, almost everyone is an idea that the shooter failed to pull off. The shot of the handicapped guy buying coffee - or whatever - comes close as an idea, but the shooter didn't get close enough to get the shot right. B.
