I guess anything will sell and make news if its marketed!
I have to say... good luck to him,hes managed to put a mass market low quality "camera," to an interesting use, but its going to be a very limited market unless there is another slant to it.
There is nothing unique or original with any of the ideas he uses, panoramas have been arround for ages (infact in the 80's cameras where made to do thoes with film... does anyone remeber the 2-3 lens cameras?) and doing loads of post production has been around since the guy that did the tin of beans and mariline (cant remember his name!)
Even the stuff that I do is hardly original, I dont think anything can be truely original today, everything is just a variation on something before...
Actually thats quite sad, to think that we have reached the limit of uniquness... lets face it, apart from updating to a present day context or environment just about every thing has been done before!
The only thing that we can perhaps photograph that is, to a degree, unique is based on being in the right place at the right time... if its "set up and posed" then you can bet that someone has done something similar before!
