<p>Wow - incredibly boring imagery. It's important to view the images without listening to or reading the overblown commentary. Forget Avedon - these portraits look "phoned in". There is nothing happening here that compels us to study these people. The dropped in fake shadows only make them worse. What a letdown! A missed opportunity for something special.</p>
I have a strong opinion about this essay in the NYT "Obama's People"
in Portraits & Fashion
