Richard Bublitz works in progress...

One reason to chronicle this project was the complexity of rebuilding the Marquette Interchange – and photographing the old while being replaced by the new. Another reason is the plethora of detail and abstract opportunities to photograph – from wide-angle views of towering piers and roadway to close up views of materials and workers. My images are made to resemble sculptures rather than photographs when enhanced by various digital means for contrast and detail.

I feel the historical value of these images, are well worth my while to chronicle. Their fine art value will be determined in the years to come.
