"S.U.M. building," Paterson, January 2009

The Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures building and the Great Falls in Paterson are at the heart of America's manufacturing history. The site -- finally -- is nearing national park status, an overdue designation. Paterson bears striking similarity to Lowell, Mass., which has long had national park status.

The black and white choice gives it a much more rugged, historical feel, considering this site's place in history.

It looks quite wournable lying so low with the water beside.
