Did you know most his magic took place in the darkroom as he would make prints from the negatives? He was the best there ever was at dodging and burning to get the very best out of each image. Every single one of his printed photos had custom dodging and burning done and each is one of a kind. He could never duplicate the exact same print. He could get close, but never an exact copy of a print.

I did not know that. I've seen his exhibit twice at an art museum in NYC but never learned that.

It is how he got incredible detail out of his pics. The falls in Yosemite is a brilliant example of it. In one of the books about his work they show a before and after of the picture and is astounding difference.

He is also one of my favorite photographers.
