>>3952732William Mortensen and pictorial photography in general is a better idea of whatever the fuck straight photography is. His books give a better idea of what prewar photography was in the darkroom by his own admission of what is boring or derivative than what anyone would ever tell you. Newspaper prints were cooked even more than this, which I took after dawn and proceeded to cook to fuck and back in a more Adams style because I couldn't get tiddy on the scene to pose on it.
