Yep, but photographers are like Columbus. They have to
'rediscover America'. It falls to every generation to revisit the
format battlegrounds.
Me? I absolutely swoon over the jet black blacks, the stark white
whites and the endless, seamless grey tones in between;
punctuated by the razor like detail born of the LF and early/late
cross lighting produced by the likes of Adams, Weston et al.
Problem is that I'm lazy and lack the attention span necessary to
even attempt similar work. Consequently, I pop around making
myself happy merely documenting what I see with the best
instrument available for the patience challenged - LEICA!
