However, though I thought that he had some good photos, I thought a lot of his street photos just seemed to miss for me: not quite the right angle sometimes, lacking a little focus (compositionally, not technically) ,somehow missing in impact etc. I also was left a little flat by his still life and abstract compositions. Not bad, mind you, just uninspired. His technical skills seem quite good. I chose the word lousy only because he used it first. I admit that I'm not a big fan of a lot of what passes for current urban street photography, and perhaps in that world, his work is "good" . I just felt that his use of" lousy" was a bit strong when there is so much work posted on this forum is far "better"than his. His web portfolio seemed tome to be a lot more variable in quality than some of those posted here.
