I know that I've said this before, but it bears repeating - I am absolutely convinced that 50 years from now Michael's Big Dig work will be the 21st century equivalent of Lewis Hine's Empire State Building project. Not only is Hintlian an outstanding photographer, but he has had the vision to approach the Big Dig as a work of men, men who would be gone and forgotten when the last part of the project is finished. But men whose contribution is now immortalized by his photographs. B.

Over the past several years, I have had the oppotunities to see some sample photos from the project, and it is the best of the Big Dig photo books I have seen. A few years ago, there was also a public exhibition of Michael's Big Dig work. Michael B&W work is awesome. There are working prints that I saw 5 years ago that still stay vividly with me, one of which Michael told me last year didn't make the final cut, regrettably. It was shot with a Leica R 19mm lens as I recall, anyway a very wide angle lense. - Phong _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
