If someone was to say they like Tichý's photos that's fine by me. Art being 
in the eye of the beholder as so on...

They just didn't appeal to me in the slightest.  To me they look amateurish 
and pretentious.  But maybe I'm wrong too.  After all, this guy's photos 
are being exhibited, there's a book and film.  Good luck to him.
