recess,

Thank you so much for sharing. I had not seen this.

About twenty years ago I was with a photographer friend at the University of Arizona’s Center for Creative Photography in Tucson for an Ansel Adams Show. I was mesmerized by his print of the “Dogwood Blossom.” I asked Ken about its absolute sharpness. He told me all about the contact print and the 8x10 negative. I went out shortly after, learned all about the large format world, and have been shooting 8x10 ever since. That day at the museum changed my life for the better ever since.

The Center houses all the negatives known at the time of his death. It is a hollowed place for a film photographer like me.

I found this to be typical hocum. A mindless processing of the limited view and ideas of a typical curatorial PhD that has invaded modern photographic history. One wishes that we could all be done with this idiotic need to reduce the great creative vision of some of the most gifted creative people working in the realms of photography. But it is ok, people of this type of mindless clap trap are best treated as trolls, ignored and forgotten in a few years.
