Well, I don't care who posted it first... Im just glad someone did! :)

Its marvellous, and has also explained to me just how dodging and burning was done in film days which I had always wondered.

Fantastic stuff and photography and prints to die for (y)
 
It's also a reminder that every fine print is an original. A printer can make notes regarding burning in and holding back certain areas but in the end no two are exactly alike. Tough prints can take ages with masks and filters required, flash fogging some parts, bleaching, dying, etc.

A couple of things struck me about the video, first, I like the way he bulldog clipped prints to the gallery wall. Framing is a personal matter and glass always gets in the way of a print, even if it's necessary long term.
Second is the trust people have in him and the confidence he has in his own method. A negative is an odd combination of fragility that demands sensitive but robust handling, and some of those photos took years to achieve and have a photographer's reputation hanging on them. When you consider a Diane Arbus print went for top side of $400,000 a few years ago, and the negatives are literally irreplaceable, there's a lot of responsibility comes with his creative day job.
