After reading an article about Ken on this site and getting side tracked for 30 minutes in comments I found after Googling his name, I finally made it over to his site. So the comments I read were all over the place. Some were very polite and kind, while others were funny (loved the one suggesting he was the 'Chuck Norris of photography'), and some were very rude.
Has anyone met this photographer? I'm curious how he got so much traction in the industry? Really interested in how so many opinions exist on this guy?
Truth? He has been discussed ad naseum. Some find him useful, most are critical. If you are going to be taken seriously, you have to belittle him...its trendy.....
Like the rest of tne avalanche of material found online, you need to evaluate realiability and objectiveness of observations, which you are doing. A good beginning is to check what he says about something you know directly, such as about your camera body, or a lens you have used, especially if your experience was not positive. Since you shoot with Nikon, you might look at some of Thom Hogan's reviews. He has real depth.

Exactly!
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

With that as well. I think much of the hate with him is that newbs quote him as if he was Moses coming down off the mountain with the Ten Commandments. I personally am ambivalent about him.
I can happily say that I've never read anything he's written. Anyone considered to be that contentious doesn't seem worth paying attention to. I'm also not a big fan of hearing about baseless opinions. If there were confidence that he actually knew what he was talking about, without having to second guess that rather fundamental aspect, well, then I might be interested.
