Everyone goes gaga over Marc's B&W pictures of flowers and trees and the like around Manhattan, while I just don't get it. To me, they look like random snapshots, with little regard for composition, designed to show off the camera's high ISO capabilities and not much else. I know from other contexts that Marc is a good photographer, and prestigious organizations like the NYT pay him for his pictures, but that does not mean that every picture he posts is great. Or am I simply missing the point, just as I do when I look at pictures by Cindy Sherman or Eggleston (sp)?
