Photo's by Floyd

Right I'm going to be slightly cocky and say it's not hard to do something like Cartier Bresson at all he's overrated, sentimental, cliched and I work a bit like him when I'm feeling lazy. It annoys me how much he is worshipped when people like Osvaldo Salas and other Cubans were so much better. Trent Park is an underrated photo genius.

See not hard to do Cartier Bresson at all. Go ahead be annoyed.

Slightly cocky? I don't know how much of Cartier Bresson's work you have seen but you might want to think before you type. None of your photos can even begin to compare to his work and he was doing it in the '30's.

"let's call it a cross between Chuck Close and Cindy Sherman methods what I'm doing at the moment with my own expressionist/grunge twist. Confronting?"

Get over yourself dude.

cheers on number 5

Chroix:
A damn lot and I still think he's overrated remember I didn't say he wasn't good I said he was overrated and not hard to do, I know it's not exact but it's also not my closest pic to his style I just think it's easy and less relevant nowadays as it's contrived. Besides I mentioned Trent Park who wears his influences on his sleeve one of them being Cartier Bresson and he does it with more power and originality. I'm not dumb. The first thing I said was that I was making a cocky call then I dared you in a tongue in cheek manner to be annoyed and you did just that without adding anything of substance, bah! I did not say he was bad don't get pissy because I knocked an idol of yours down a peg just accept it as anothers opinion.
