Note

• "Berenice Abbott's Changing New York project captured a modern vision of Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs in the 1930s. From 1997 to 2003, I returned to the original sites, with the identical 8x10 Century Universal camera that Abbott used, and at the same time of day and year Abbott's photographs were taken, revealing New York Changing over sixty years."--P. 10.
