Something to debate other than equipment. :-)x I visited the site and looked at the NY photos and while I applaud the attempt, I have to say I think the execution is pretty mundane. Most of the photos are meaningless without their captions, which is to say that they are meaningless as photos. The image of the cop with crossed arms in the foreground is an exception, but looking at most of these photos, all I come away thinking is, `oh, poorly exposed photos of black people at something somewhere.' I think this collection is a perfect example of the photographer seeing something, and wanting to make a statement, but not having sufficient photographic vision or technique to convey what he saw and wanted to say to the viewer. But that's just my opinion. Anyone else check out the site and want to jump in?
