though his work gives a view into the lives of a certain type of person, you've got to ask yourself did i ever wonder how they lived.
he has also got some interesting self portraits that are by an large the polar opposite to his work. His work straddles the boundaries of documentary and fine art. Some of it can only be described as repulsive, well the subjects anyway. I can say i enjoy viewing his work, though it makes me uncomfortable to think that the subjects actually lived in the manner which he photographed them.
