Task # 1: Submit Proposal
Trix Rosen, teaming closely with Gregory Dietrich, the Architectural Historian and Manager of the NY Office of the Cultural Resource Consulting Group (CRCG), submitted a proposal to the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation to complete HABS Level II Documentation on Admirals’ Row located at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City. This proposal responded to the scope of services outlined in the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s RFP dated February 2005 and included provisions for a HABS Level II history and description of the row, a site visit culminating in preparation of a photographic shot list, and HABS Level II photo documentation of the buildings and relevant drawings showing existing conditions.

Task # 2: Site Visit and Preparation of Shot List
Gregory Dietrich and Trix Rosen completed a physical inspection of the site, and identified and suggested 20-40 specific locations from which to best photograph the historic structures. The shot list was assembled so that each shot clearly depicted the appearance of the property and areas of significance of the houses. The digital images from this initial visit helped define the views of each of the principal facades as well as interior shots and details as required for the preparation of the shot list. These images were also used as reference in the preparation of the map of the sites showing the proposed locations.

Task # 3: Photo Documentation
After approval of thirty five (35) images from the shot list by the BNYDC, Trix Rosen Photography completed the large-format, black-and-white photographs of the subject property in conformance with HABS Level II standards. The negatives were 4" x 5" and the archival prints were 8" x 10." Each view was perspective-corrected and clearly labeled. We provided two (2) sets of negatives and four (4) sets of prints to BNYDC upon completion. In addition, one (1) CD of the images in high-resolution digital format was provided to BNYDC.

Task # 4: Document Reproduction
Upon BNYDC’s approval, Trix Rosen Photography had five (5) drawings of the subject property photographed in black-and-white in accordance with HABS Level II standards. The negatives were 8" x 10" and the prints were 8" x 10." Two (2) sets of negatives and four (4) sets of prints were provided to BNYDC upon completion.

The Hudson River Trust – Archival Documentation

Hudson River Park, Phase 1-Segment 4; Christopher Street to 14th Street
Bulkhead Repair and Platform Replacement
Photographed more than (400) Medium-Format color and black and white images prior to construction, during construction, and post construction of the Hudson River Park. We worked closely with the contractors, engineers and architects to identify and categorize all the elements needed for their documentation.

Trix Rosen Photography shot construction areas prior to the start of work on the Hudson River Park to show existing conditions before the start of any demolition and removals or other on-site construction operations. We were given three days’ notice where feasible, and in emergency situations were available within 24 hours of request.

Included were each individual area of work, adjacent bulkheads, neighboring piers and structures, which might later be misconstrued as damage related to demolition/removal operations or other activities of the contractor, and items indicated for salvage. The photographs were needed to show and accurately record as a future reference existing conditions at the property before starting the Work. Trix Rosen Photography did thirty to fifty (30-50) periodic construction photographs monthly or as the demolition progressed, and selected vantage points to best show the status of construction and the progress since the last photographs were taken. We also worked with the construction manager who helped direct vantage points or detail conditions to be shown. Fifteen (15) black and white and fifteen (15) color photographs after the date of the substantial completion were submitted as project record documents.

We photographed the sites both from land and water, working with tide charts as necessary, and submitted to Li-Saltzman Architects, P.C. more than four hundred (400) medium-format color and black and white negatives and accompanying contact prints. Additional 35mm hi-resolution digital images were taken during the work to document historic features. During the project and upon completion, Trix Rosen Photography worked closely with the architects at Li- Saltzman to identify and categorize all the elements needed for their documentation.
