Usually very helpful with his industry insider’s voice, Davis has not met his usual standards. Shame. Davis’ logic is flawed. Let me quote (in bold) and question his three-point disappointment. 1.

Ed Ou is a sickeningly young, talented and humble Canadian photojournalist who has spent much of the past five years covering stories in Somalia and, this year, the Arab Spring. He speaks with a lot of maturity about his journalism in this Canon interview – well worth a quick listen. [...] http://www.vimeo.com/31773934 kudos.
