Pretty strong feedback there Wallace, It sounds like you understand the work in some way to pick up on the utilitarianism viewpoint that I considered whilst shooting it. Shame it wasnt that theoretically constructive as feedback though as id loved to have heard more from this angle. Id be happy to explain the photo-project to you further and you can read more about it if you google ‘mike whelan ad-sites’. I had a quick look around to try and find one of your composites but had no luck, maybe you could point me in the direction of your work as id love to see what your idea of a good composite is.

The last composite is good. The second and third to last are ok. Otherwise, this work is utter nonsense. It is such boring, utilitarian dreck, and this critique is not coming from a stodgy purist, but someone who composites constantly. I seriously doubt you could explain your work to me in any way that would make me change my mind. The seams and color matching of your composites are sloppy, except for the last. No offense to you, but I’m sick of this kind of work being judged to be great, because its really average.

A great concept and brilliantly executed. Some of the juxtapositions really made me smile.
