photographers whose work

Three-Way Contest

with Kodachrome 64 Professional

pictures made on Agfachrome,

ultimate choice was deemed a
matter of personal preference.
Tribute to a
Pioneer

observer of the

world, this
magazine noted

specialists
who helped
transform the perception of
photography from little more
than interesting pictures
to valued art on a par with
paintings, drawings, woodcuts,
and etchings. —Harold Martin
