This is a small sample of my black and white prints from the mid-seventies in Vermont and Boston.
The subway photos were taken to document the Boston subway shortly before it was renovated to look like a McDonalds, and the MTA Authority strictly regulated access by photographers.
Because neither flash nor tripod were allowed due to safety concerns, I shot more than 350 exposures using high speed (high contrast) "spy" film at 3200 ASA. While this did make it possible to be relatively inconspicuous, it also limited my subject matter, and enforced a high level of granularity to the prints.
I should mention that I also took a series of color shots, using various positive transparency films "pushed" way past their design specs, but that is a project for display at some other time!
