"Everyone else's prints leap off the page, and his look like they came from a 1970's Soviet photocopier."

Not a pretty picture..

“In no other medium is so much provided automatically; it is difficult today not to get some kind of image on film. It is the last fraction of total photographic quality that identifies the serious professional craftsman or artist. There is no substitute for fine craft; we can have craft without art, but not art without craft”.

Ansel Adams - “Polaroid Land Photography”. 1963/1978

When I was younger I was never much for the Dusseldorf school (Bechers, Gursky etc) but as I have aged I have grown to appreciate some of them.

Elger Esser is my favorite-
