Exactly my sentiment. The image contains zero compelling attributes and quite a few annoying ones. It's not even a very good snapshot. I had to check the date on that to make sure it wasn't 1 April. Sheesh. -- YOP...

They didn't even bother to shuffle the tiles, making it all too easy to stitch them up. http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1026/stitch.jpg

There is no way Jeff Wall has a name worth paying for. The inherent value of his work may be great for some, but I cannot find THAT value in any of his work. This is no Adams, Cappa, Larry Burrows, Stieglitz or even dare I say, Herb Ritts. -- Regards, Savageduck |
