Walking in a Brooklyn neighborhood near the school where his summer day camp was held, he was looking for a girl he had met at the camp. He knew that she lived nearby.

He was looking for a brick home with entry porches where a family could gather in the cool of the early evenings. He had been there once before yet was having difficulty finding the right home since they all resembled each other.

It was a very windy day, and many puffy clouds were scudding along the sky. As he looked up and continued walking, he felt a slight dizziness. As he stared at the sky, it looked and felt as if the buildings were moving and not the clouds.

 In the early years of the last century, Alfred Stieglitz was accused of making superior photographs because his images were well-known people of the day.

He refuted this, believing a good photograph had little to do with the subject. In 1920, he began photographing clouds, a subject that was free to anyone.He named the series “Equivalents.”
