Marvin -
I am very impressed by your credentials. I myself have some small
experience, having hired hundreds of photographers and produced
thousands of film shoots trough the years. Yes, most experienced folks
can tell the difference between an MF and a 35 mm enlargement, but
that is a comparison very distant from your earlier statement. I will
speak for us both... if I put you to the test you described earlier,
with the cameras of my choice, you would fail. There is no doubt in my
mind.
I still do not agree that a single camera pulls a body of work
together in any way in an artistic sense; there have been and are so
many notable examples in the legitimate/mainstream art world to
contradict you...
