OT FORMAT?
DEAR LIST, An OT question: I just saw a lovely reproduction of Roy DeCarava's "Man on a Stoop with Baby, 1950" in a Folio Society book of THE 100 GREATEST PHOTOGRAPHS. The repro in this book is excellent. I was amazed at the tonal range from highlights through open, rich shadows and the combination of fine grain and acutance. I had heard that DeCarava worked with 35mm later in his career but I find it hard to believe that this image was made with anything smaller than 2 1/4 if not 4X5 considering that it was 1950. Does anyone know for CERTAIN (not from conjecture or personal preference) what format film/negative he used to make this image? If the photo history list is still active, please post this question there as well. THANKS CHEERS! BOB Please check my website: http://www.bobkiss.com/ "Live as if you are going to die tomorrow.
