He had the advantage of large sheets of Kodachrome. Alas, the next Ansel Adams won't have that luxury.

Someday digital may catch up.

I was at Half-Price Books this evening and they had this book. I didn't get it since I thought I already had it. Turns out no. I do have the Edward Weston in Color book, though. Yes, Ol' Ed shot some color as well.

This statement is truer than you think. Given that digital is still in its infancy compared to film, I think one day digital will "catch up."
