As in anything, there are some people who can't appreciate a craft 
without having the experience of having done it themselves. I think that 
if you have spend hours in a darkroom trying to get a print just right, 
you are better prepared to understand the excellence of Adam's work. 
Perhaps it's confusing at this moment in time with the advent of the 
digital "darkroom." One can make perfectly beautiful digital art and 
still be unaware of the craft of the darkroom.
