The developer he used I would love to know. And the paper he used. His tech stuff doesn't get out as much it seems. How'd you find this out? I do nudge him over Avedon in my pantheon on that kind of stuff as he was a master printmaker as well with the platinim and all. They both used the Rolleiflex a whole lot and I think Avedon used Plus X and had his negs kind of overdeveloped. Neither really known for Tri x, neither known for 35mm and certainly neither known for Leica! But that's ok I'd let either in my house if it was raining. Hand them a roll of Delta. Horst P. Horst died I heard on the RUG. When I go to heaven I will be shooting 8x10 Kodachrome a good part of the time I think. They may not have it in Kodachrome valley (in 35mm)- But I'm sure the pearly gates have been well documented in all formats with the stuff! Mark Rabiner
