I think David Bergman is a pretty good photographer. The guy knows how to use his equipment and take a picture. Occasionally you'll see something truly unique or a pretty good story. For instance, #8 isn't anything special at first view, and then you see it. The crazy lady trying her damnedest to cop a feel. I mean she is really to touch his ass... from a photojournalism standpoint, it's perfect. It isn't something I'd enlarge, frame, and hang, but it does exactly what it is suppose to do. #7 is a beautiful shot. I just wish he had stuck around a little longer to get something interesting... like #17.
The type of black and white (with a touch of sepia) conversion featured in this article are pretty perfect, IMO. I've seen some of his work where he gets a little carried away with the browns, but these for most part look pretty good.
