Comments on: Some Sunday New York Times Reading… http://www.avisualsociety.com/2008/04/28/some-sunday-new-york-times-reading/ "A fashion picture is a portrait, just as a portrait is a fashion picture." - Irving Penn Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:18:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 by: Wesley Brown http://www.avisualsociety.com/2008/04/28/some-sunday-new-york-times-reading/#comment-9664 Sat, 17 May 2008 05:49:53 +0000 http://www.avisualsociety.com/2008/04/28/some-sunday-new-york-times-reading/#comment-9664 Why depressing? While I think HCB was incredible and his work was hugely important to my photographic education, let's keep in mind he had little competition. Rebekka is certainly not the norm on flickr and the fact that she stands out so much amongst the huge number of community members is a credit to her. Just because people know how to make sharp pictures on modern equipment doesn't make them photographers like HCB or Rebekka (or valid critics). Not to worry. Why depressing?

His pictures are certainly good, but they aren't the yardstick for every other image to be graded either. It is really lame that someone took his image as their own though. That is not a web specific phenomena though. Is it really such a bad thing for HCB to held to a anonymous critique?
