Agree, there are some great photos although the fast rotation on his home page left me dizzy!.  How did you know he uses the Q2M?  I couldn't find any info on the photos, but very much like his work.

His work was reviewed on MacFilos and I follow him on IG.

Thanks.  Found the Macfilos link and also watched the video.  Fantastic work.  A great showcase of what a really photographer can produce with the Q2M, in stark contrast to the `Nocti Girl'.

This guy https://paulreidphotography.com does an astounding job of using a Q2M to take street portraits.

Well, as ever, taste is in the eye of the beholder, and these judgments are blazingly subjective. IMHO, this is some of the worst "serious" photography I have seen in 77 years of life.

I thought this was great

You’re right it’s subjective. So subjectively how would you do it better? Care to share your street photography images here for all of us to see?

It's some of the best photography I have seen in 75 years of life, but maybe I'll change my mind when I get older.

Maybe you think the work of Sir Donald McCullin is crap too and can be added to your 77 list.

Perhaps you will. At our age, two years can bring a lot of changes.

And maybe I don't think that at all. Either way, what possible difference would it make in your life? I mean, did I offend you in some way just by expressing an opinion at odds with yours? To the point where you feel it necessary to snipe at me? I expressed my opinion on Mr. Reid, and really have nothing more to say on this topic.

Frankly why would I waste my time sniping at you? You’re being overly sensitive in terms of responding to my original questions, which you haven’t btw.

Care to show us your best street photos?

Liked the video production but wasn’t a fan of the photo content per se. But that’s fine, we’re all different and this to me lands in the influencer landscape somewhere between Overgaaaaa and iJustine and will certainly find an audience.

I have no particular comment on Mr Reid's photography, but that's some of the most irritating home page design I've seen in about 27 years of using web browsers. Slow to load, with an apparently unstoppable queasy scrolling of images like a manic Tinder user swiping left, and then an unwanted chat box pops up.
