It's not that I don't like the work. I like it for what it is, but I'm unsure why it garners as much attention as it does.
I'll be honest, I hadn't fully submerged myself in his site until a few hours ago, and since making my post I did find some photos that I really liked among his older works. Pieces that showed that he was a capable writer and photographer. I guess I'm just unsure what differentiates him from the thousands of other people who have similar places on the web.
While I am all for simple and minimal, I don't think the Flash work compliments his pieces in the least. In fact, I think it detracts from what he is showing. Sitting and waiting for a 4 meg file to load is an inconvenience. They could be broken into smaller, more user friendly bits. I guess the fuzzy fonts, simple Flash work coupled with poor navigation came off as amateur to me.
Bah...I don't know what I'm talking about.
