90% of what he shoots is peoplewalkingpastwalls slop but he’s a real nigga and that’s inevitable, 90% of photographs are bad and repetitive anyways
Fun fact: when he’s not taking sponsor money his personal camera is a DSLR

If you read his blog you can tell he's a 120 IQ NPC who babbles on and on about the "photographic experience". You can tell he wants to be an artist. See attached. He isn't and never has been. Nothing profound in his snapshits.
>By a similar token, I don’t believe in a conventional definition of street photography; I think of it as something on the documentary spectrum but towards the end where you don’t have a set objective or assignment, and just record what you see. In some ways, that makes it more difficult because you have to make or interpret your own story from a bunch of usually discordant pieces.
His site used to be popular and I would always scroll past his slop but he's a lot better than the "gamechanger" "you need this" "stop doing x" crap what we have now e.g. phobloger, petapixel, the zoomer on dpreview etc.

there has never been a profound photograph. historical yes. inherently profound no. they’re scans of reality so its literally never something new. photographers run on what the masses think is novel which is forever moving forward and right now, a dying concept that reality increasingly cant satisfy.
