Digital BW, The Print

Hi Tim,

I think you are largely right although he did have significant input in the
design of a number of items. Fred was anything but flexible or a raging
technophile. On the other hand, he taught me how to read a photograph and to
"see" an image before the shutter clicked which has been far more valuable
over the years. As I recall Paul Horowitz of SETI fame was responsible for
most of the Zone VI electronic gimcracks but often at Fred's behest to solve
a perceived problem.

  He didn't invent the Zone VI (if you are talking about the camera). Picker
  was a good entrepreneur in a small niche market, but I don't think he ever
  really designed anything that he sold.
