Sorry Skip,
I was waaay off on this one. Dugged out the mag and here is what I found:
The photographer's name is Stephen Johnson (www.sjphoto.com)
The article is called New Eye on National Parks and here is what it says:
As a pioneer in digital imaging, Johnson has been using various methods of
digital capture for several years. The outfit he employs now consists of a
specially developed digital back fitted to a Sinar Bron view camera, with
possible resolution of 48 MP, generating nearly 150 MB files. That setup gives
him a dynamic range that dramatically outstrips film's usual five stops. as
well as extremely accurate color rendition. His digital camera represents the
latest tool in Johnson's long term struggle to be freed from the confines of
film and the stylistic choices film forces upon us. No longer limited to
shooting at the edges of the day in warm light, Johnson can make beautiful
images at times and in conditions that would send many film photographers
looking for a place to wait for the lad-day light.
From the previous page:
The digital camera has a hight dynamic rang-nine to 11 stops versus film's five
to seven and accurate color rendition, which allows him to continue down a path
he had been on since the late 70"s with film, "of tring to be perfectly
straight with the color and finding the romance and beauty in what was there,
rather than in Warm light". In addition, it captures an amazing 6000X8000
pixels, equivalent to a 48MP camera capable of seeing outstandig detail in very
large prints.
I am yet to visit his website...been busy talking about SUV's and politics...I
kid, I kid...I spend most of my time looking for a job

Such a deal for only $12,000 for the budget, Kodak DCS Pro-Back 14mgpx.
$29,000 for the 22mgpx Leaf Valeo.
I guess if you're making significant, incremental money from them, they make
sense.
