A photographers "body of work" is what he leaves behind. His negs and
prints. Or hard disks now.
This actual leaving of his own body to go along with it is quite
enlightening. Stashed between your negs and your prints in the freezer?
Does this print need to be printed a little lighter with these laser beams?
Lets see what Ansel's DNA has to say about it.
