Those photos from The Atlantic are phenomenal; thank you for the link!
I would love to know how he got #14 [0]. Slide film (as you're no doubt aware) has relatively little exposure latitude compared to print film, meaning it's a hell of a trick to get both the inside of the tower and the trains in the yard outside exposed properly.
You can see the issue pretty often in real-estate photos. Photos featuring the inside of the house with a window usually have the window way blown out because there's so much more light outside than inside.
Glad you liked them! They're in the Library of Congress, so you can get high quality digital copies from their website for free[0]. Yeah, the shots are really great and well beyond my personal ability for sure, particularly given the less advanced metering options he would have been working working with. Great learning examples though.
