Very interesting post. One of the commentors says
"While there is some good work in there, you don't appreciate it as much when you have to slog through countless repetitions of the same old derivative tropes, again and again. I mean, how many too-contrasty black and white photos of a person walking past a sign that somehow mimics them do we need? Do we really need more photos of random urban beggars randomly passed out on park benches? Old people are not more interesting just because you crank up the 'clarity' slider on their faces!"
He's just not filtering his viewing. There definitely is lots of great stuff out there, non-cliched. Juan's surf photo is a pretty good example of that.

That crazy Johnston :-D But seriously, it's a cool street photograph without a street, and I hope Juan is enjoying his 15 seconds of fame (note we're in a recession so 15 minutes is out of the question).
