  • Ray K. Metzker, 57 JP-14, Chicago, 195757 JP-14, Chicago, 1957.Look first at how the picture is divided.
  • Ray K. Metzker, 59 AF-1, Chicago, 195959 AF-1, Chicago, 1959.A staircase, seen many times over, becomes a grid of descent.
  • Ray K. Metzker, 63 DO-43, Philadelphia  (Man and Impala), 196363 DO-43, Philadelphia (Man and Impala), 1963.A single pedestrian crosses a vast field of black, and the city seems to hold its breath.
  • Ray K. Metzker, 79 DA-15, from "Pictus interruptus : Mykonos, Greece", 197979 DA-15, from "Pictus interruptus : Mykonos, Greece", 1979.A soft dark serpentine swings across the right of the frame, an object held too close for the lens to resolve, earning its place precisely by spoiling the view.
  • Ray K. Metzker, 80 DQ-27, City Whispers, Philadelphia, 198080 DQ-27, City Whispers, Philadelphia, 1980.Begin with the title that isn't one — BROAD STREET, cut crisp into the granite cornerstone, and beneath it the ghost of a numeral, a soft 27 worn into the stone.
  • Ray K. Metzker, 81 DA-2, City Whispers, Philadelphia, 198181 DA-2, City Whispers, Philadelphia, 1981.Begin with the field, the readable surface: four figures clustered at a transit shelter, caught in a narrow blade of late sun that has slipped between the slabs of a brutalist plaza.
