Since he died on Easter, 1984, I doubt he ever saw a Hassy digiback. :-)
And he would no doubt, at this point still shoot large format ("Always
carry the largest camera that you can...") and the scan the photos with
a very high quality scanner. He was a millionaire.
And then he would print them digitally. Here's a heresy for you. He
claimed more than once that he could do better with the laser scanners
of modern pre-press offices to the more traditional book-maker's
processes.
He played the piano with his gluteus maximus at times. I'm sure he'd
give electronic pianos a whirl.
