...defender of the film tradition. "You almost have to degrade the image to make it more real. If you take a digital photo and I take one on film, there's just no way you're going to compete with the humanity that I can create from my little Hasselblad. Yours will be smoother, crisper, perfect in every way, and mine will be grainy, but you would definitely grab my picture over the digital...
...TIME'S Washington Bureau then dispatched Photographer Roddey Mims to Baker's home town of Huntsville, Tenn., to help set up the shooting. Armed with tripod and timer, the Senator went through twelve rolls of Kodak Ektachrome ASA-64 film in his 2¼-by-2¼ Hasselblad, while Mims backed him up with Kodachrome in his Nikon motordrive. As the shooting proceeded, Baker began to relax. "This is the most fun I have had in two months," he told Mims. In the end, Robert Grossman's airbrushed caricature beat out the Senator's efforts...
...photographers, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Margaret Bourke-White were as alike as an Instamatic and a Hasselblad. But as subjects in two upcoming movies, both are being portrayed by camera-sly actresses who admire their subjects: Jaclyn Smith, 33, and Candice Bergen, 35.

...advice about apartments, gynecologists and boyfriends. They learn to distinguish the Seychelles from the Maldives, and they learn about vacation houses in Marrakesh. They learn to eat Thanksgiving turkey stuffed with foie gras, and then, when the gloss they have acquired begins to shine through the lens of a Hasselblad, they fly back to New York, perhaps by now not wearing blue jeans, and have another try at the big tune...
Today Adams spends far more time on the performance than on the score. He virtually stopped taking pictures for public consumption in 1965, and rarely lifts a lens outside Carmel any more. He can occasionally be seen roaming that photogenic seaside town, a Hasselblad camera in hand, but the images he snaps are put aside for his private collection. Instead of turning out new works, Adams devotes most of his working days to making prints of his earlier ones. He spends about four mornings a week in his darkroom and devotes the afternoons to updating the series of books...
