Though I suppose in this type of work editorializing in this manner falls under "creative license." Not the first time a photographer has been accused of going too far to make point. For me it's more about inconsistency from image to image. Almost as if he's not quite, or yet, sure when, or if, to "get heavy." Though he's got himself a worthy project; and is visually stating his case; however imperfect one may consider it at this point in his journey.
