• Ninety-five percent of the eggs produced in America come from factory-farmed birds.

So I would be grainy and contrasted and black. Id crop, blur, play with the negatives. I didn’t see clean technique being right for New York. I could imagine my pictures lying in the gutter like the New York Daily News.
