Silly list--it reads like Mr. Whatsisname and the 10 worst dressed. The guy is probably doing it more for the giggle than because he has any particular point of view.

That said, I loved Burn's Civil War, Brooklyn Bridge and particularly his Baseball series. To a reader of those subjects, a more personal, visual take was really wonderful.

I absolutely loathed his Jazz series. It was overinformed by Wynton Marsalis' personal predjudices and inflated the influence of bee-bop while dismissing the importance of west coast sound and anything that didn't come from the U.S. Dumb, annoying as hell, under-researched and an insult to jazz lovers. But the photos were good and you simply can't get enough about Louis Armstrong.
