The equipment certainly doesn't "make" the photograph; as I see it each set of equipment and technologies has limits, and when the photographer runs in to those limits changing tools can be the catalyst that allows the photographer to push his personal boundaries beyond where the previous equipment had stopped him. In this case the image quality limits of fast color film have been eliminated so I'm working more where I'd previously been repulsed by grainy, contrasty film. > I am eagerly waiting for the book... I've been hearing a lot of this lately and it's been a dream of mine for a long time... now is as good a time to make it a reality as I'll ever have... I'm looking for ideas: what text to go with the photos. A description of what was going on a few inches behind the camera, perhaps? What I learned from the process? Feedback please!
