Andy Rutledge posted here about Pakenham awhile back. It seems he's a convert of the "bonsai is cruel to trees" school:

The photos on the link were attributed to a number of individuals' FLICKR accounts. They shouldn't be Pakenham's photos, although they could be the same subjects. He's a great photographer, anyway, no matter how misguided he is about bonsai.
