Thank you for saying what I was thinking.

First of all, they are technically decent snapshots, but they
certainly aren't anything I'm going to go out of my way to look at. It
looks like a "proof of concept" project more than anything serious.

Reminds me of the photographer up in Minnesota who did the one picture
a day for a month thing and had it published in NG. Of the 30
pictures, there were five which were worthy, but the rest were repeats
or struggles or formula pictures.

I'm REALLY sensitive to the formula pictures. For every scene, take a
wide shot, a mid shot and a close shot, then two more with something
framing the subject and another with some trick applied. Yawn.

Come on, guy. Show me something I ain't seen before! Or something I
ain't done before!
