Black and White Aerial Photo


A black and white aerial photograph is a satellite image taken from above (normally in a plane although other methods, like birds and hot air balloons, have been utilized).  These photographs collect data in the visible light spectrum. Aerial imagery allows us to analyze large land surface areas. In this case, an urban setting is shown, although this imagery is quite useful for other areas too. New York City is shown here in 1928. Taken by Fairchild Area Surveys, this image was probably used by urban planners and architects to continue building up New York City's infrastructure
