Definitely he is my favourite B&W photographer of all time. Some of his compositions have been literally breathtaking to me.
I think he excels in treatment of dark shadows and pure black in a photograph.
I have an original copy of the 'Banana Leaf' shot from Hawaii upstairs.
Ah, that banana leaf. I will always remember seeing that for real. It was a bit unusual for him, because it was an original framed 16X20 print instead of smaller 11x14, barely propped up way over in a far corner of a floor of some gallery - can't remember exactly which - not even hung on a wall - but I homed in on it like lightning. Unforgettable. But I personally have only a nice book page version.
Great piece to read
