Convinced that the camera was truth, he took photographs and worked from them; he was one of the first American artists to do so. He made drawing after drawing, from mere thumbnail sketches to stupendously elaborate perspective studies that include notes on such minutiae as eight cross sections of an oar from loom to blade...
