That sounds like a can of worms, Robert. ... Some of AA's best known negs weren't all that easy to print. You'd have to contract someone like Alan Ross on one
side of the equation, and someone else as the inkjet tech attempting to achieve the same look. As much as AA liked to sound liberal about leaving behind his negs
for posterity as a teaching tool to reinterpret as people wish, I'll bet his hair would still stand on end if it wasn't done "right". He certainly wasn't very
open-minded when he juried other photographers' work and was sometimes known to reprint a "better" example than what they themselves provided. Besides,
Ansel's images are already coming out everyone's ears. The AA trust has already mass-produced a number of high-quality clones of his prints using more serious
tools than inkjet. No need for yet another mutt form of reproduction.
