Callahan Tunnel; Boston, 1980
Photographing while driving was an irresistible challenge, though working with the compositional elements as they flash past demands nerves of steel. Rotating lens panorama cameras, with their 140-degree wide-angle-of view –much, much wider than any wide-angle lens – produce extreme manifestations of the optical effect of the enlargement of the foreground and diminution of the background. When traveling at highway speeds it’s necessary to wait until the very last moment before making the picture. The red light on my dashboard indicates a low fuel level. -LR
