Reason ·
Hands-on and idiosyncratic
This was also why they became obsolete in the first place.
Reason ·
Idiosyncrasy, unpredictability, and accident
Estabrook values the accidental. It allows the photographs to elicit nostalgia.

In the context of the █████ ██████████ ███ ████████ ██ ███ ██████
a
highlight the circumstances ████ ████ ███ ███████ ████████ ██ █████ ████████████ █████████ ██████
This is the best answer. The phrase is designed to emphasize that circumstances (moden technological revolution) that make the renewed interested in early photographic processes unexpected or incongruous.
b
indicate that most █████████████ ███ ████ ██ ████████ ████████████ ██████████
The author never suggests that “most” (over half) photographers are caustious about advanced photographic techniques.
c
reveal the author's █████████ █████ █████████ ███ █████ ██████ ███ ███ ██ ███ ████████████ ██████████
The author doesn’t express skepticism toward the use of old photographic techniques. There’s never any hint that the author thinks photographers shouldn’t be using these techniques.
d
suggest that most █████████████ ███ ███ ███████ ███ ██████ █████ ██ ███ ██████ ███████ ██████████
The author never suggests that “most” (over half) photographers don’t see any benefits of the newest digital technology.
e
imply that the ███████████ ██ ████████ ██ █████████████ ██ ███ █████████ ████ ████████ ████ ███ ██ ██ █ ███████ ███
The author never suggests that the interest in old techniques is likely to go away.
