I know the document is supposed to be a condemnation, but there are
several examples of excellent forestry there.  I especially like the
Bing shots of the group selection harvest.

It's easy to guess what the author doesn't like about what he chose to
take pictures of, but that's clearly a simple dislike of timber
harvesting.  What is troubling is that it is represented as a
"massacre" in this group.  Even a simple disagreement with the concept
of larger openings, whether group/patch selection or even-aged
removals wouldn't seem to merit anything other than a reasonable
debate between professionals on the issues.  Offering simple
photographs is simply a means to begin discussion on aesthetics,
nothing more.
