"Burtynsky has flipped open the airplane’s side window now, and has started shooting—leaning out the window with his Hasselblad"

Anyone interested in Edward Burtnsky's epic landscape work should heck out these stunning aerials

He switched to using a digital Hasselblad for his aerials of Australian minescapes after problems with film flatness using 5x4.
Before the 'bitchin' starts I am sure he cold have had just as good results with a Phase One camera/back. My point is that a mfd is proving to be more ueable for him for this kind of work

I'm sure that Mr Burtinsky will have his work printed using whatever technology he considers best achieves his aims. Adding a 11900 in the corner would probably not be too great a hardship.
There is also the spectre of the acceptability of inkjet output in comparison to C-type prints in the 'art world'. He needs a market for his work.
I did think it interesting that there is a team working on the digital processing options...
