Orchard Street by Alta Ruth Hahn

I used to live on Orchard Street. Although I don't miss those days of slanted living I do love old photos from the lower east side.

That's a pretty fast exposure for 1901! Daylight? Flash powder?

More Sound & Motion

I have several projects in various stages of production but this is something we recently finished. No matter how much still photography you have under your belt, adding the dimension of motion and extended time within the frame takes a bit of getting used to.
