If you are Ansel Adams anyway Jason Burfield, Photographer New York | NY | USA | Posted: 10:27 AM on 12.15.20 ->> Amazing auction at Sotheby's yesterday that brought in over $6 million https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2020/a-grand-vision-the-david-h-arr... Amazing set of Ansel Adams originals.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

In a world where photoshop altered images are rampant, and color is everywhere, I, and probably others as well; yearn for art that has integrity that does not feel contrived. Yes I know that in black and white, especially original art; there is a lot of dodging and burning and so on. But there is still a sense of integrity in the image. I believe that as time marches on, this integrity will become something sought after by art collectors. Ha... my 11 piastres... and I actually said something intellectual!  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Wally, I agree with you on the black & white thing. I've gone so far as going back to shooting everything with large format B&W film. Got me back to really enjoying photography and what it means to me. Taking my time and making images I want to make at a slower pace. I also recently flipped through a box of B&W prints that I made more than 30 years ago. Something very 'real' about those old prints, back before technology took over the world of photography.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
