Digital BW, The Print

Oh yes, and was priveledged to know him. He played the piano almost as well as he performed in the darkroom, although, not so much in his later years. Somehow I could never picture him stuck behind a piano in some concert hall. His "concert hall" was Yosemite and other beautifull places and his "music" has inspired many who came after. I think if he were with us today he would be a contributer to this and other forums. He was a very generous man. He almost always had 5 minutes for an admiring photographer who happened to cross his path. But, now I'm getting WAY off topic.
