1. I have the Monochrome and the MP and they are both fantastic versatile cameras. I am in the process of completing some thematic art photo books and after viewing Jacob's images I am once again struck by how much time and energy some photographers put into networking rather than honing their skills as a photographer. It strikes me that for many of these hyped 'geniuses' the minimum becomes their maximum and their work frequently lacks creativity as well as originality and style. Most, if any, have no original 'voice' and merely rely on networking and hype to push their careers along. They either seek grotesque tasteless imagery or banal boring visual cliches to top off their presentations and sugar coat them with hype through their labyrinthine social and political connections. Give me a break.
2. i sensed a thump of sadness from him when he brought up his life in greenland....
3. Of course the right way is to include 'I'. But how often do you include it? It's only in an ideal world we engage each other this way. It's naive to believe criticism is only valid when one can do better. Universal truth are recognized as as an universal truth and as such this is bad taste and an pseudo intellectual product of a frustrated, delusional mind. 
4. It has nothing to do with bashing others, its a total repulsion of bad quality and pseudo intellectual babble......
5. Thanks, we are not letting the bs intellectuals with no skills overrun us:-)!
6. Jacob Aue Sobol not Au
7. haha are you serious, you need your eyes and brain checked.
8. Let's face it: the camera that someone from the lights of JAS would not make outstanding pictures with on a trip like that has yet to be made.
9. bad sound, bas pics, ridiculous camera, fake intellectual approach..... bleeeh.
10. They were post-processed in Photoshop, to replicate his traditional high-contrasty b/w work in film!
