Web Exclusive: Photographer Alan Karchmer on Some of His Favorite Images

Categories: Articles

Alan Karchmer: The Architects’ Photographer is a new exhibition the Museum was planning to debut when our doors reopened in March. Unfortunately, it will be a while before you can visit us to see an incredible array of photos from this master of the craft. So we’ve asked Alan to choose a handful of images from the exhibition and discuss why they are among his favorites. This 12-part video series will debut midday on Monday, April 13, and videos will appear on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays for four weeks and will be archived in this post.
