He either printed black & white prints himself or had a commercial lab do them. When I had a darkroom, I did some traditional silver prints for him but not many. Saul would sometimes give me things to print in black & white and color. When some new camera came along, especially if it was smaller and lighter, he would often purchase one and experiment with it. He was very fond of cameras - one could say, excessively fond of cameras. In the street, he used a series of cameras: Canon A1, Leica CL, Minox EL, Olympus XA, and later, numerous digital SLR and pocket cameras. When he did his commercial work, he generally preferred to use a Leica M4, occasionally a Rollie 6圆. When I worked with him I learned to always check for the camera in our travels about New York. Sometimes in exasperation, perhaps from distraction, he would accidentally leave them in a restaurant or cab. He constantly carried a camera when I knew him. His published works provide ample evidence of his immense talent. Saul's photography hardly needs any introduction.
