I think it is likely that not only would he have embraced the new digital printing technology, he may have worked hand in hand with the manufacturers to make the technology better for photographers. I sometimes wonder if some of these companies actually consult any real photographers when designing their products. Someone of Adam's stature would have been able to push companies such as Epson into solving problems such as ink and paper stability earlier on in their development. dan c.
