Interesting link. I have often wondered how many of the great B&W photographers would have preferred color if modern technology had been available to them. I'm quite sure Adams would have gone nuts with Photoshop.

Thanks for that.

It's interesting that I find Adam's color work to be just so-so. Perhaps it is because he could not manipulate color printing in the same way he did B&W? And I didn't find his compositions all that interesting either--many look average. The Livermore barn is, I think, still there (in more state of decay of course).

There was also a (way too) short article in the Smithsonian magazine this month on Adams in color.
