Hasselblad Photography - A Wide Angle Perspective

The images in this gallery capture Flushing from the 1950's to the present. Many photos were taken from the same location over this span of time, they show both enduring landmarks and dramatic change. Since constructing this site over 2 years ago I have been continuing to get a great response for pictures from my old home town, now averaging about 20,000 views a month. I will be completing an expanded version of
http://www.blurb.com/books/474468 in Fall '09 so keep posted. Requests and comments are always welcome!

Someone wrote to me that they would look out at the trees and daydream during class. However you can make out some sedulous students in this detail, from November 1976.
