Digital BW, The Print

Hi Harold,

Nice work, and thanks for sharing that history.
 
You know when Adamson was giving a lecture here he stated that Nash
Editions and his shop in DC started at the same time. One of them did
the first print and the other founded the first Iris workshop for
photo artists. I can't remember what the order of that was. I assume
from your text that was an exageration. What I didn't realize was the
important role that the Disney corp had in all this. It makes total
sense that they would have the technology first in the animation
departments of the back lots in Hollywood. 

Very interesting.

John
