#RootStudios NYC (also known as #DriveInStudios) hosted an artist talk sponsored by #PhaseOne and #DigitalTransitions last Wednesday night (May 7th 2014).
Of course Albert's work needs no description, however for those of you maybe needing your memories woken up a bit, here are a couple of examples (text continues below)

As stated above, Albert needs no introduction. Most if not all of theses images above were shot on traditional film, yet I did state this talk was sponsored by #PhaseOne (#CaptureOne) a high end Digital capture company, and to me the leader in quality for digital capture.
Albert spanned most of his career pre-digital. As my personal experience as been split (1st half my career in film 2nd half digital), I have witnessed several film photographers gripe about the onslaught of change into digital. I've also sadly seen several photo labs close, people change careers and so on. It was a true blessing to listen to Albert discuss his switch into the digital age with the lp of #PhaseOne. He (Albert) is a true artist, so gave examples of his exploration into other realms of image making from film, to the darkroom (of course) then to paint and inks on antique papers, and other experimental forms of visual expression. It was truly an inspiration rather than many functions being a showcase of fear in regards to current change in our industry. This talk was a reminder that after all we are image makers, story tellers, so whatever technological advances may come our way, we should embrace then, experiment with them keeping our work fresh for many years to come.
