Though to be frank, I don't find the images of the tracks particularly interesting either; nor technically good and most certainly, not haunting.
Who 'makes it' in any artsy profession is as much luck as it is a good name, connections or actual merit. It has been like that for centuries. You need far less talent if you are capable of 'selling' yourself.
I recently looked at a large online photo competition that runs for 12 months - each with it's own theme, and a sort of a grand finale, a photo story.
Some submissions are unconditionally superb, even if they are not up to one's taste; some not so much. But than you look at feedback given by some supposedly successful photographers, and it makes one want to cry. Or at least, it does me. And then you look at their work. And you understand, and you cry some more.
But, there are people to which it obviously appeals; for whatever reason. That in itself, makes it a' viable art'. If someone wants to pay for it - it's worth it. That's how the world spins.
At the end of the day, who am I to judge when I find the best things about Picasso are his earlier pencil drawings and his daughter's original perfume line
