With the mantra "Don't make photographs, think them," the studio has been responsible for revolutionizing the way in which buildings are photographed. Hedrich Blessing has taken over 500,000 photographs, an archive so vast and historically valuable that it was donated to the Chicago Historical Society for preservation."--BOOK JACKET.
