MR. DRESSER'S ANSWER:
Valentine:
I use a variety of cameras none of which are digital. As a traditionalist I still adhere to the feeling that nothing quite matches a gelatin silver print (unless it is a platinum print). All of my work in Death Valley was done with a 2 1/4 (Hasselblad) because of the short time one has to photograph and the ability to change lenses quickly. All of my work in the studio (the flower series and portraits) were done using a 4x5 or 8x10. I am delighted with your interest, but must remind you the camera has very little to do with the making of a truly great photograph - it is the person that pushes the shutter that is eventually credited with success. I hope this answers your question. Good luck with your photography however it is done.

Best regards, Rod Dresser
