    i dont know why people get so bent out of shape about where an image originates from ! stop calling him a copycat ! he simply belongs to the same genre or family tree as pierre & gilles,this doesnt make him a copycat ! if all his images were b/w who would you say he copied? and besides when i think of a lot of photographers today who emulate successful photographers in order to get noticed i think they are the most brain washed and uncreative.
