\n<\/a>Broome Street 1980 \u2013 \u00a9 Brian Rose \/ Edward Fausty<\/p>\n

I have now completed phase one of rescanning the images from the Lower East Side project. The 1980 pictures \u2013 about 500 of them \u2013 have all been digitized at high resolution. Ed Fausty and I did these pictures over the course of a year just after graduating from Cooper Union.<\/p>\n

Photography can seem like such a solitary and personal pursuit that it may be hard to imagine collaborating with someone else as we did back in 1980. But working with a view camera on a tripod calls for a more deliberate approach. We walked, talked, pointed, gestured, set up the tripod, peered at the ground glass beneath a dark cloth, and arrived, often quickly, at a visual consensus. We did not argue, as I recall.<\/p>\n

When I first scanned these images back in the mid-2000s, I shuffled through the 4×5 sheets of film and picked out what I thought were the strongest. Our contact prints from back in the day were hastily made and hard to use for critical assessment. Many were missing. I initially tried making traditional analog prints from the negatives but discovered that the film had badly shifted out of balance. Scanning and color-correcting was the only way to recover the original balance, a painstaking process that sometimes required a couple of hours for a single image.<\/p>\n

The photograph above is one of many that I somehow missed the first time around.<\/p>\n
