Ansel would by now have a deal with one of the medium format digital back manufacturers who would be producing an Ansel Adams Signature Model...And it would go on the Hasselblad with the zone system metering he is supposed to have designed. The one thing I would be willing to be money on, were there any way to settle the bet, is that Ansel would long ago have begun scanning, doing all his pre-developing tray work in Photoshop, and then would probably have had the final prints produced with something like a Fuji Lightjet - although he might well have gotten involved in quadtone inkjet printing. But either way, I can't imagine that someone who so relied on darkroom manipulation for his final results would not have become as much a master of Photoshop has he was of darkroom work. B.
