OK, these two last photos are much better. But still, not much special i have to say. Just the standart stuff; on photo.net one can browse through these for days.

okay here are my thoughts... and they can be taken however you want.. Maybe this cat is a "master" but he is not a master at editing... yes I think these are nice but one of the things I think is that when I look at photos if i just think ok next well there's nothing there if i linger on the image and feel a little something then maybe there is something there. there was no lingering there..

I have serious reservation about people who claim the Master title as humility is a mark of insight and acceptance of others who are better. The photographer's unjustified comment on Capa's D-Day photos shows the lack of appreciation of history and the extremely hazardous condition that Capa worked. I doubt he could shoot war photos himself. Using technology to compensate for timing and anticipation is in my humble opinion pure laziness and lacking in fundamental technique. His photos are not bad but lacked originality and very cliche. I agree that the photos in RFF gallery showed more originality and insight than his body of work that I see. What is that quote? "Nothing is worse than a sharp picture with a fuzzy idea"

Were the 1st series of "photos" really taken by the same guy?
They look like the Master of the Decisive moment was making a call and accidentally hit the "make snap!" button on his fancy cameraphone. A blind paralyzed chimp could produce more "decisive" shots.
I honestly don't believe this is the same guy, and if he is - presenting this kind of "work" to an editor might result in the editor making mad faces and yelling "visionary!" "magnificent!" "blurry!" the first time, but decisive-moment-san will definetly be off the payroll the next day.
The feature shots OTOH look solid, don't they? Plus they don't really look like taken by the blurry-decisive-moment-guy.
Maybe this was meant more as a joke? Saiseto, any input on this? 😀
(I'd find it pretty funny in a weird unsharp indecisive kind of way.)

i hope they are taken by two different guys too...but unforturately, as far as i knwo they were all taken by the same photographer. Perhaps, people here only think he is a master on photography but not the decisive moment!!!

Being called a "Master" doesn't mean he's good at everything. This might be the 1st time he's ever tried street shooting. I noticed that his other shots have no people in them, so he might be more of a landscape/architectural shooter.
I'd cut him a _little_ (not much) slack since he's shooting at night, but he's also shooting with a wide angle, the 17mm being a 28'sh equiv on the 20D.
