I don't argue with any of these guys. Lee, God or Art. I think as she's not being glamorized at all its very straight it might be easy to think its pornography. I don't think it is. I get a faint air of integrity from it. Nothings being done with mirrors. No shell game. No Ponzi scheme. - beats the crap out of most the nudes I've shot over the years. Which were too glitzy and glamorized. Which may be why he got three more Guggenheim's than I ever got. Lee three Rabs zero http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Friedlander This thing says he switched from Leica's to Hasselblad Superwide. No mention of digital. "In 2005, the Museum of Modern Art displayed a major retrospective of Friedlander works. In the same year he received a 2005 Hasselblad International Award. His work was displayed again by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as a retrospective in 2008.[2] Concurrent to this retrospective, a more contemporary body of his work, America By Car, was displayed at the Fraenkel Gallery not far from the museum.[3]" This guys on a roll. And its not made by Sandisk. Mark William Rabiner
