No, actually stuff that is very seriously devoted to copying photographs (photorealism) in a conscious way is intriguing to me. I'm biased because of my own work, but just saying. Like there is a difference to me where you can tell someone just worked from a photograph and where someone knew that there was this real event but I am gong to meticulously work to copy a photo bit by bit and that the end result was pretty unreal as far as they were concerned. Its very elitist, I suppose, but if I know that the person has an awareness of how abstract "realism" is in art, then, there is a huge gap between that and someone who is just trying to imitate a photo because they think a photo is more real than an impressionistic expressionist painting or whatever.

I'm that way with most photo-realism--or any "realism" that is derived from and slavishly copied from a photograph.
Realism/naturalism from a seated model (from life) on the other hand, I like very much.
The choice of medium is interesting. The ability to achieve that much color nuance from such limited media is very impressive.
