I agree Chris, some of them don't transfer to the screen well and the reason
is that the images didn't transfer very well to the original prints !  I've
seen some of his original prints (I think it was a 30yr retrospective in
Melbourne a few years ago), some printed maybe 2m wide, some I thought were
very disappointing considering his reputation.  You can understand that the
technical quality might be a bit poor given that he was shooting in very low
light, but in some cases the actual subject matter was just not interesting.
