There is a solo show of his work that just opened this past weekend at the Museum of the Rockies here in Bozeman, MT. It is impressive, for the most part extremely well executed prints especially given their size, many of them at least 6-8 feet wide. Notes at the exhibit state his wet darkroom is 2200 sq ft. I suppose one would need this much space to process prints this large on a regular basis. It is worth noting, there was absolutely no mention of digital anything only his LF cameras he uses, apparently the 8x10 being the most used tool.
However the "walk into the picture or scene" concept eluded me due to the commensurate large piece of glass in front of the mural size prints. Reflections became so extreme and numerous one cannot see the entire image as a whole, rather you have to dance around each of the big prints to get the concept of the scene. Frankly I found the smaller prints (24x30 ±) to be more enjoyable, more intimate and compelling as a whole. Not saying the museum did a bad job exhibiting and in fact do an outstanding job as a rule, its just the nature of the beast when that much glass or plexi is in front of the art to be viewed and especially at this size. Walking out of the show I was both inspired and agitated, inspired by the work, but agitated that I could not see it in all its glory as a whole. Seriously there has to be a better way to produce and exhibit fine art prints than this antiquated old method, other than canvas, that is so intrusive to the viewing experience. I find it odd, contradictory and downright hypocritical that photographic arts are held to a different standard than "normal" fine arts when it comes to exhibiting. This has bugged me for years but seeing this show sort of lit a fire underneath me regarding this issue.
As to the original posters question, so we don't stray too far off topic, it doesn't bother me that Nikon has not made a 35 PC-E lens, I use the 45 PC often with the shift left and right attributes and stitch the frames in post production. Provides a much wider angle of view than the 35 would anyway. I also use the same lens with a RRS pano setup to stitch frames together, works great too. For me at least I would like to see Nikon step up to the plate and produce comparable PC lenses that function more like the Canon's newer versions. Nikons are getting rather long in the tooth would be putting it mildly. On this issue Canon has eaten their lunch.
Hope this helps.
