Armin, I had some wide ranging phone conservations with AA back in the mid 80's related to an article I was writing for the Journal of American Photography. His interests were broad and his curiosity was boundless. The one thing he said in those conversations that would have any impact now was that he thought resurrecting historic processes was a waste of time. He looked forward. I personally think if he had lived longer he would have delved deeply into modern digital technology and pushed it to a higher level than it is now, BUT what a joke! Do the math-that would have required him to live well past his 100th birthday! Its ridiculous to try and guess with any certitude what he would have done that late in life. He was a man of his time and not of this time. His history is written and beyond that it is all wishful thinking and guesswork.
Can we not turn this into a WWAD thread.
