Jan Saudek

I first saw Jan Saudek's photographs in the early 1980's. I liked them initially, but then I changed my mind. It was purely by accident that I came across the image of the lips below, and discovered it was by the same photographer. This prompted me to look at his work again, and I now find I have mixed feelings about it. I no longer see things in black or white, but in shades of grey. Does this mean I have matured in some way, or have I simply become hopelessly indecisive?
