Adams was very much in favor of digital technology and expressed hopes for it. I first discovered him back in 1969 when I was a student at MSU for a couple of years. I got all his books, understood his teachings and methods, and used them reasonably well. He would have loved to have all the digital editing tools and powers. But I doubt very much that he would have replaced the sky in, say Clearing Winter Storm or any of his work. Some years ago, I wrote a short piece on that work:

In that short piece, I did not talk about the lens quality, bokeh, etc. but what the photograph meant to me. That is the missing element in many photography conversations.
