From a recent NY Times Article on Irving Harper, a 93-year-old Modernist
product designer:
When an admirer gave Harper an Apple computer in return for a gift of some
vintage graphics, the designer hauled it to his upstairs studio, where it
remains unused in a closet. “With a computer there are too many choices, and I
always liked working within limits,” he said. “You know, if you look at Mozart,
who had this strict classical framework — an allegro, an andante, a scherzo and
a finale — you see that within that formula, he got results he might never have
gotten if he had all the options in the world.”
It's a great analogy for what we do in the darkroom, I think.
