	Extravagant Crowd \| Berenice Abbott
		Abbott “looked upon the urban scene as a challenge to the camera artist who must extract an aesthetically compelling statement from a chaotic field and still capture the city’s distinctive character.”2 Changing New York, a book of photographs from the project, was published in 1939.
		Abbott’s scientific photography was made difficult by a general mistrust among scientists that photography could be used as a scientific tool.
		Abbott did not shy away from discussing the political implications of her work, especially with regard to the ways her photographs documented the changing social and economical conditions in 1930s New York.

		Abbott was concerned that the hugeness of the city threatened to distort the humanity of individuals.
		She was exposed to the visual vocabulary of modernism--including extreme angles, faceted views and stark, dramatic contrasts--which she applied to her photographic work.

		Abbott’s photograph of the Flatiron demonstrates her principles of documentary photography: it serves as a record for the future and has content, or meaning.
		Abbott calculated that in order to get this dramatic night shot with all the office lights on she would need to expose the film in her camera for 15 minutes.
		Abbott also knew that she couldn’t be in any wind if she had to leave her camera’s shutter open for 15 minutes, as the slightest motion could blur her picture.
