Daily News | Tom Crane, retired architectural photographer, Peace Corps volunteer, and ‘obsessive handyman,’ has died at 82
Reviewers praised the Philadelphia books, which feature hundreds of Mr. Crane’s photos and detailed descriptions of the sites by Moss, as a “a feast to our eyes” and “a wondrous visual and historical tour of the city’s major places.
Mr. Crane first became interested in architectural photography in 1966 while serving two years in the Peace Corps after college. Working with Dutch soil scientists on a survey of floodplains in Nigeria, he was intrigued by the architectural designs of buildings along the Niger River, and, using a simple Kodak camera, returned to the United States in 1967 with an eclectic portfolio of amateur photos.
Fascinated by the design and functions of mechanical objects as well as architecture, Mr. Crane fiddled with reclining bicycles, collapsible kayaks, radio-controlled indoor aircraft, aerobatic kites, and other items. He hung a trapeze and built a scenery cyclorama in his photo studio, mounted a rowing machine on exposed beams of his living room ceiling, and had handmade wood furniture and an open-air atrium in his home.
