Regardless of how it appears, I have no close connection with this subject (5280 is associated with Denver [1]). I am quite familiar with his work and consider his work worth noting among the photography profession and professionals, such as those (with lessor and uncited work) noted on your website. Considering the limited amount of photographers doing this particular type of work and the increasing demand for it, I believe that Mr. Balkowitsch can only become a more prominent figure and authority, hence my adding references and information on a regular basis as his reach rapidly expands. I question a desire to delete this page when I consider the many biased pages that go unscathed and uncited elsewhere on this site, such as: /info/en/?search=Kurt_Gr%C3%BCng.
Finngall - Thanks for the feedback. I have sent an email to Mr. Balkowitsch asking him not to contribute to the page to ensure neutrality is maintained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjf5280 ( talk • contribs) 16:49, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
The article contains two references to Mr. Balkowitsch's claim to have a portrait of Evander Holyfield with the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian. While it is possible that they did indeed solicit this portrait from him and are simply in-process evaluating for addition into the collection (for more than a year as of this writing) it is worth nothing that:
Based on this fact check, it seems reasonable to delete (until such time as the Smithsonian's index reflects the portrait as held in the collection) these claims. Amolitor99 ( talk) 15:37, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Note that as of now the picture DOES appear in the NPG's index, these claims are now verifiable and thus no longer questioned. Amolitor99 ( talk) 22:09, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
