Alright fuck one more, last one from me I swear
So this is one of the big points I like to discuss, YOU CAN FIND SOME CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS but they almost leave you with more questions that answers, I checked his source, Bland has included ALL the "construction" photos they want to give us easily
The rest show it fully completed or just renderings. So this is a nuanced issue but ill point to the biggest thing that you will find time after time is the phenomenon called "milk sky" where the top of the photo just devolves into pure white

here is what a clear unedited photo from that era SHOULD look like, there is nothing about the clouds and sky the precludes showing up but "touching up" is as old as photography itself, a retoucher was a common job for lots of early photographers working their way into the trade. you could etch out of the negative what you dident want on the final and ALMOST ALWAYS you find they give the sky the "milk" treatment
Once I point it out to you, its impossible to stop seeing

See how in this one it "fades" out at the top instead of being wholey obscured like we see above

they did it BAD to this one, as you can see the buildings in the distance but for some reason not above them
