Hi
i think there's an error in the report.... on page 2 there's this paragraph..
".....In this way “Genesis” represents less of a departure than it might at first seem. Even though he recently switched to a digital camera for large-format printing, his pictures have a consistent sensibility. He still generates contact sheets. He still likes to backlight his subjects, emphasizing — or romanticizing, his critics say — their forms. He still works in black and white......"
I'm quite certain the "digital camera" portion was supposed to be his Pentax 67.... not any digital camera....

This caught my attention as well. If he ever does go digital I hope that he takes another interview, after he re-tools his process, to describe how he approached the problem. From what I have read he is very rigorous and consistent in how he and his staff manage workflow and printing. It would take him years to establish a digital workflow that met his standards.
