HT1289 - Once Again, the Pace of History Amazes

Do you realize that 100 years ago, [well, technically 105 years ago when Stieglitz published issue #48 — the final issue — of Camera Work] high quality photography publications used tipped-in photogravure prints? It would be another 30 years before offset lithography was used in state-of-the art books like Edward Weston's My Camera on Point Lobos, another 60 years before Ansel Adams' Yosemite and the Range of Light used duotones. Today, we can share our work instantly via the Internet to people all over the world. How is this not the best time in the history of photography to be a photographer?
