The author's photos are really nice and different.
But most travel photos a-al what you see on Instagram are derivative and overrated. The sunset, beaches, and even the framing are always almost exactly the same.
As a person who travels, I cannot tell you how many times I see people lined up to get that perfect "insta" shot.
Travel photographers who give a shit are few and far between these days.

They may not feel they have an eye to find another angle, or creativity to do something different. Regardless of whether the photos are different, we're all there making up the crowd.
