Andreas Feininger was my first photo teacher by way of one of his books ... many of his books were slightly modified versions of the first one. I say this with a twinkle in my eye!

My first purchase of a photo book was one by Andrea Feininger in which he showed the use of an extremely long telephoto lens from out in NJ looking towards Manhattan and it compresses NJ into a series of hills and sort of pasted the Empire State Building in at the back. Every time I drove to NYC I thought of his work with the Pulaski Skyway and the flattening of NJ.
