That was my take on the book, disappointing. I remember seeing his 'Workers' 
exhibition in 1993/4ish and you could see when he moved from just shooting 
black and white to getting good negs/prints (exposure and processing) in the 
late 1980s...

The photos in that article look great.  His recent exhibitions have been
mixed in terms of image quality-some I have seen looked over manipulated,
while others were great.

In general I find it harder to see through/past his technique as his career
progresses.  A few of the shots in his book *Genesis* look almost
cringeworthy to me.
