Digital BW, The Print

In that case I could be wrong. As I've demonstrated in the past my memory
doesn't always get it right. On the other hand, perhaps these prints are of
a different Edition.

I'm a fan of his too, so I know the pinkish/brownish hue of which you speak.

I've never done a side by side, so I can't say I think it's what he uses,
but I used to get similar tones using Ilford Multigrade fiber paper with
Kodak Polytoner. Polytoner is interesting stuff, and I think it has sulfides
like Sepia (chemistry is over my head). It's rather powerful, while the
Multigrade is pretty toner-resitant (ever try to get it to color shift in
selenium?), hence the more complicated hues one gets with the combination.

But color is one thing, you are right, his vision is sublime.
