2000 images were made in the 1950s of boston/cambridge/somerville/medford.
some of these photographs are published in the sunday globe

Not quite the same league, more like Atget meets the Bechers

By that I mean the Bechers record approach, still valuable though.

Weren't there also photos of the T at night, etc? I think I remember seeing some hosted on an MIT site.
