My friend sent me this post because I was complaining about the Koons photos. I also object to the unnecessary description of his photos as "conceptual"-- when a regular NYT photographer contributes staged/posed photos to accompany an article, they are given no such intellectualized label.
And really, it would have been much better to have photos of the actual animals discussed. It's just dumb to have "studio portraits" instead of real nature photography. But the NYT magazine is all about having art photographers shoot their stories these days.
