This essay by Tod Papageorge contains at least some brief references to Adams' technique during that period when he was working on The New West and Denver...

OMG, this is my childhood.

Robert Adams captured the exact feel of suburbia mid-1960's in Ohio, even thought that's not where this was taken. I can smell the perfectly groomed grass, feel the heat coming off the asphalt shingles and the cold of the cement porch steps, and see my mom inside, wondering where all us kids had gotten off to. Even those house numbers over that aluminum screen door are the exact same ones we had. Wow, one image can immediately take you back.

Best,

Those 1960s suburbia photos were mostly taken with a Rolleiflex TLR camera.

In a book I have on trees that he did over many years in Colorado he states he used the following: Nikon with a 28, HAsselblad with an 80, a Superwide, and a Nagaoka 4x5 with a 135, and a Plaubel Makina. The book is called “Cottonwoods”. Hope that helps
