La réponse de l'intéressé :
FAQ: Equipment (World’s worst photo interview question)
In one of the funniest blog posts I’ve ever read, the issue is raised about asking photographers about their equipment. It really can be annoying, but the truth is that a large percentage of the photgraphy audience is other photographers - and a large percentage of photographers are nerds. So, lemme get it over with:
For Sleeping by the Mississippi I used and R.H. Phillips and Sons 8×10 Compact with a Nikon 300mm lens. I continued to use this equipment with NIAGARA, but I also added a K.B. Canham 8×10, a Nikon 800 (convertible to 1200mm), and a 210 Super-Angulon. For Dog Days, Bogota I used a Mamiya 6. For most of these projects I used Kodak Portra NC (400+160). For my editorial work, I shoot with a variety of equipment (Making Parts, for example, was shot with a Phase-One Lightphase medium format back).
I don’t do a ton of lighting, but sometimes have to add some strobe (inexpensive White Lightning monolights) or hotlights (Lowel).
As for printing, I still have a conventional color darkroom with a Kreonite processor. I use this for proofs or small prints. For Sleeping by the Mississippi, I made traditional optical C-Prints at a lab in Minneapolis. For NIAGARA, I made digital C-Prints (both Lightjet and Lambda) at Laumont in New York.Whew.
