Yes gorgeous work, as good as it gets!
I wonder what Eliot Porter's work would have been like in the digital age? In looking at a collection of his dye transfers recently I was reminded how digital has widened the range of photo-interpretable subjects. In his day Eliot would have had to chose from a much more limited set of subjects and lighting conditions that were friendly to the characteristics of his film and print-making technology.
Digital would certainly have released a lot of those constraints, but then the question is...would that have been to the better? Constraints can give you a kind of freedom by letting you get to work in space your are not required to struggle out of. To what extent was Eliot defined by the limitations of his media? Would larger possibilities have helped or hindered his art? But I wander, as usual.
