If the link doesn't work, just go to the chicago tribune webpage, the

Can't think of a better thing to do with a camera. Thanks for that.
Too bad there are so many subjects for him to photograph, though.

Local authorities should be responsible for documenting old buildings
while they stand. That was done in my home town, before the old wooden
houses were torn down to make room for 'modern' concrete blocks - and
that was a century ago. (The later politicians haven't been as wise...)

Thanks for the links. The pictures are particularly interesting in many
ways. Look at this one, for example:
http://www.hel.fi/kaumuseo/kuvark/esbheikin.html

Action is stopped as shown by the woman caught in midstride as she crosses
the street. Pictures I have of our little Mississippi River town taken on at
about the same time all have longer exposures. I thought it might be due to
the very slow emulsions of the time. Clearly that's not the case.

I don't know what emulsions she used, but clearly they must have been
sensitive for the time. She used 18x24cm glass plates, and to get the depth
of field, aperture was small.
