Digital BW, The Print

Yes I have always respected AA's work and it will technically knock your 
socks. While I have some of his books and even have a print hanging on 
my wall, they are missing something - maybe passion. Adams was a master 
technician - none better. He gave us some wonderful tools.

I recently say a W Eugene Smith exhibit and there are many images burned 
in my mind from that day. The man caught the passion with his camera. 
The photos reach out and grab you. Not the greatest of all technicians, 
but good enough.

It would have been interesting to see how either of these master would 
have approached the digital age.
