The city\u2019s physical transformation has been captured for decades in photographs. The quieter story, the one that is harder to archive, is the people: the faces passing on Henry Street, the small exchanges, the ordinary moments that become memory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom0 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">For the past year, one engineer with a camera has been collecting those moments, approaching strangers with a compliment and asking for a photograph.
