A Foggy Night, October 25, 2002.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0My first visit to Cincinnati was brief and focused. I was driving from Madison, Wisconsin to Roanoke, Virginia and I stopped off with the specific purpose to photograph Fellheimer & Wagner\u2019s Cincinnati Union Station.<\/p>\n

During a low ebb of appreciation for architecture, this magnificent building nearly succumbed to the wrecking ball.<\/p>\n

On this night it looked to me like a dark vision from a Batman comic.<\/p>\n

I made a few photos with my Nikons in color. But my more successful images were exposed on Fuji Acros 100 using my Contax G2 rangefinder fitted with the super wide-angle flat-field 16mm Hologon.<\/p>\n

That night I took a motel in Covington, Kentucky, where I watched television news reports about a horrific theater hostage situation in Russia.<\/p>\n
