I don’t entirely disagree with you, I’d have to reserve judgment until I’d seen them in more detail. The similarities are striking however. If, as the article suggests, there are multiple examples of Horst and Daniel Zielske appearing to duplicate the work of Peter Bialobrzeski I’d start to favor his charge. There is also his claim that the two photographers in question “actually called years earlier for advice about exposures, film, and vantage points“. If true, that also would lead me to side with Mr. Bialobrzeski.

Hmm.. I have to differ. Yes, those two photographs are indeed very similar. But from my understanding of the article, the exhibition consisted of many photographs. And the two specific examples are both “landscape” pictures in towns. I would guess that if I was to have an exhibition that included, say, a picture of the Eiffel tower and one of the Empire State Building, there would certainly be others who have made similar pictures.
