Hi All,
Well, I finally got my butt into Chicago to see the exhibit. It was well
worth the trip traffic parking and such. I don't go downtown often as you
might have guessed. In any case there was some amazing prints there. I was
surprised to see some that appear to be 4x5 contacts. Perhaps they are not
I'm not sure. It was also interesting to see some of the same print printed
at different times of his life this way seeing how his vision changed. The
large prints of Yosemite were as you can imagine very impressive. All and all
it made me want to go into debt for an 8x10 camera. I know sounds silly but
true. At the same time it made me feel that I should just sell it all as I'm
not sure I'll ever get that kind of results. I know he didn't have great
shots all the time but when he did. I suppose I'll just keep plugging along.
