I don't think those are banal at all. Gursky is banal. A photo of a random wall is banal. Those are well executed landscapes of an exotic location. That is not banal. Don't assume, and don't tell people not to post based on those assumptions.

They're not landscapes, nor are they trying to be exotic. Given that you think Gurksy is 'banal', all signs point towards you being unable to comprehend a photograph beyond the obvious.

Gursky's work explores a lot of banality, we even had a discussion on it in the early pages of this thread.

How does one discuss "its been done."? It's not a critique of the pictures, it's just you dismissing the pictures because it's not new and exciting.

Have a worth while opinion that is worth discussing and then there will be discussion.

Here is an example:
Personally I liked the colour palette used. Even though I wasn't a huge fan of some of the pictures. 1,2, and 4 were my favorites.

See, that is something that can be discussed. Why did I like those ones, and not some of the others? What about the palette appealed to me.

I didn't just vomit a lovely opinion then furiously back pedal when called on it.

Okay, actual effort: those photos are very interesting examinations of density vs. open space. That's a much more interesting angle on Hong Kong than viewing it as an exotic other.

Less effort:
Who are you to tell people you've contributed more to this thread than others?

These are not double exposures. They're reflections on a window. I remember reading about the photographer and I'm pretty sure he said they were reflections.

Hmm, now that I'm looking at the whole set, some do look like they are double exposures - these ones in particular:




and some others as well.

May be I was confused as to which photographer said that.

Hmm... unless he was carrying a piece of glass with him and held it between the subjects.
