Cathy,
Hmm, it's sort of a tough one, at the same time that I can be very critical, I am totally willing to say that if something floats someones boat that they should go with it, have fun. Who am I to stop someone's fun? : )
In a large way it is a matter of culture, and culture being so infinitely diverse, it becomes about personal judgement. Sometimes the distortion of extreme wide angles is annoying. Sometimes they carry the day. It's probabaly harder to shoot with a straight lens because you don't have the extra-normal distortion that oohs many people. Bill Brandt did totally wonderful work with an ultra wide as do many people. The more I think about it, the less I care.
I guess I would just ask a person making head shots with 21mm lens if it is an integral part of their work, or if they could just as well be using a coke bottle for a lens. I just hope people have fun with their cameras... : )
