It's not just that he does such great, solid work but that he can explain it so articulately and intelligently.

I don't want to sound like a curmudgeon, but there just IS a difference between photographers with a direct link to a time when photogs had to do so much themselves in the film days and those who are now software based, essentially. Both do important work but it's a whole different worldview, basically.

"When you’re doing it like I’m doing it or the few people that are shooting film now, we’re all pretty much doing it on our own, and we’re doing everything. You’re having to figure out where you’re going to be shooting and what room it’s going to be in, and what place once you get to that room, and there’s nothing easy about it. Then on top of that, you have these other seven or eight steps that you have to do in just the right order to make a picture." from the New Yorker link

On the other hand, we know infinitely more about the impeachment participants and the President thanks to DSLRs than we ever would have with press cameras.

There is a GREAT Video of him from the 1970's.
I suppose they had just started Contact Press.?
He is in pursuit of a photo assignment about a cattle drive. i believe.
A piece of "Americana" history that had all but disappeared.
