Reviews
Piece of sh1t
Carlos Vista
Don't waste your time. It just a single page ad. Apps like this should be rejected. You can get better photos for free by browsing Flickr. This author has a real ego problem, think we'd fall for his bait and switch. Pure greed and dreck!!!
I am torn

Vincent's work is brilliant. His new exploration into video is inspirational. The app is a great idea, but the pay setup is goofy. Charge for the app, not parts of it I am thinking. I give it 5 stars for his work and his insight at his blog, 2 stars for the app setup. Just charge for the app as a whole and be done with it. Will there be additional charges is more work is done in the future?
Wonderful App, Two hold backs from 5 stars

1st hold back, pinch to zoom seems to not work. 2nd hold back: it's a universal app, with device specific in-app purchases, which is silly. (Side rant: it's silly that people charge more for the iPad when the iPhone four has greater specs and abilities to program for.) Having said that, this app is awesome. LaForet really produced a wonderful photographic experience, made by an artist for an artist.
Beautiful work
Digital Panda
Really beautiful work, but at least give us a couple full free albums so we don't feel like the app is a gimmick. Make future albums 1$ each for iPad and iPhone and I will purchase.
Really? I should pay to look at free photos

I love vincent's work and figured I give it a shot. The app allows viewing of a handful of images and photo info for free. To see the majority of the images you have pay. All of these images are available by using your browser. Hit up google images for free viewing of most of these. Most are probably on his site for free. I immediately deleted the app.
Not an App

I love Laforet's work, but this doesn't really qualify as an app, it's his portfolio and one you that have to pay for to boot. While the price is disingenuously labeled as "free," once you're in the portfolio, only one gallery is free, The others are about $4 (I forget the exact amount) EACH. Not to mention (nearly?) all the shots here are available elsewhere on the web. Has hero worship gotten to the point where we're willing to accept something like this? I expected something FAR better from a talent like Laforet.
This app is nothing but a rip off

You want me to pay to view each section of photos? Get over yourself. App has been deleted.
