Negative Positive
Title: disappointed
Review: Given the raving reviews I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book after waiting for it for over a month! It took me less than 5 minutes to leaf through it - what a disappointment. Expecting outstanding photographs, they are mediocre, bland, uninteresting subjects. What are the subjects? Hoping to find breakthroughs in lighting, subject treatment or composition, I wonder why certain areas are overexposed and bothersome to look at in the photographs. Nothing stands out as innovative. I'm amazed people praise him as being so much better than Ansel Adams. It is undeniable that Ansel Adams' work is more esthetic, dramatic, fascinating and of a quality far beyond this. I'm sending it back.
Is the review positive or negative?
