On that blog post, which is a good thing and its also a problem, it's a perfect illustration on the importance of curating yourself.

There's way too much imagery for one blog post, there's enough there to make at least 7 really tightly curated blog posts giving the photographer 6 more opportunities, that have been lost, to move people to his website and build a relationship with his audience.

And there are a couple of shots that should go away like the HDR portraits, honestly does anyone need to be made extra craggy like a dehydrated apple doll and the wet tee shirt shots really don't work all that well either.

But there are some really inspired shots like the kid on the parade route with the flag, the lone girl in the grandstand, the guy in the Brooklyn hat and the clown.

HDR is at its best when you can't tell it is HDR.
