Michael Wesely Open Shutter
When I first heard about Michael Wesely's project to photograph the entire construction of the
Museum of Modern Art as single three year exposures I was amazed and intrigued. The concept of
making a three year exposure is quite bold and daring; Wesely was able to achieve spectacular results.
