I suspect that considering the vast majority of his photographs have 
never been printed, that would probably be true. On the other hand, 
just like there are very clearly definable eras of his work (the early 
fuzzy wuzzies, the developing period, the realization of photography's 
potential with Monolith, his Wagnerian years of depression, and his 
stronger, more contrasty work near the end, a digital period would be 
just one more era in the evolution of the vision of the artist. And 
that it would be just as collectible, unless he printed large series.

On the other hand, a larger series of his work might be just  the 
ticket to make it more accessible to a wider audience, and I suspect he 
would have liked that.
