The D.L.Edgerton Fresh and Frozen Seafood Warehouse




PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL:  Imagine trucks backed up here, men unloading hampers of fresh eels and men with fork lift trucks taking them to coolers and freezers where they can be stored. Inside one can get the idea of what once went on here, but the roof is gone and the foundation is failing and D.L. Edgerton has moved on. 

We reached the D.L.Edgerton Fresh and Frozen Seafood warehouse late in the afternoon, and the sun couldn't have been worse for photography. That the wide range of tonalities could be reproduced from a single exposure testifies to the quality of current digital technology.
