"Well, Porter was very painterly in his rendering of nature in color - and 
very precise with his dye transfer prints...
it is that kinship to your stuff that I see...  odd that you didn't know
him. "

There's a name I am very familiar with. I met him on a couple trips he made 
to Antarctica to photograph various areas. I was the Photo Officer in the 
Navy Support Squadron down there (75-77) and had the pleasure of going 
around with him as well as having him in the lab for wine, cheese, and BS 
sessions. I never ceased to be amazed at his energy level, and he was well 
into his 80's then. I believe.

He started out most famous for his bird photos - but I've got a great
book of his southwestern stuff in black and white.
