Randy Taylor: A photographer tries to save his 40-year archive of photographs damaged by Hurricane Sandy (PHOTOS).
Taylor kept his archive in a storage facility and wasn’t allowed access
to it until a few weeks after the storm. He had initially received word
that some damage might have occurred, but when he finally gained
access—by donning a hazardous materials suit and mask—he found a much
more severe scene. “I descended into the smelly, wet, and dark bowels of
the powerless building, which had flooded floor-to-ceiling with
contaminated water,” Taylor said via email. “What I found was a jumbled,
gooey mess of papers and things 3 to 8 feet high. It took the first day
to carve out a vertical space just 2 feet into the unit, so I could
merely walk in the door.”
