“Black and white was attractive for several reasons. I could develop the film myself. But of more importance, I could take the [Navy] Yard out of time. I did not have to worry about blue plastic tarps and day-glow warning signs. The Yard that I shot could be shown as layered in time but it could still pivot about the 1940ās. Iām not sure that I could have attempted that with color film.
To take good architectural pictures (or any pictures) you should tell a story. Each picture should be able to exist on its own but also relate to those before and after it. More specifically, you have to spend a lot of time with the subject and the light that falls on it.”
