Hudson shot film for 35 years, until 2005 when he went digital. Although I shot small format, I wanted to record as much information as possible.” “That was my usual modus operandi at the time. “I rated the Tri-X at 20 ASA and pulled the development a little,” he says. His Grand-prize image “Untitled” (seen in gallery) was shot in Belleville, Michigan, in 1981 with a Leica M2, a 35mm Summicron lens and Tri-X film. This is fundamental to me, and I suppose others as well, and it imposes rules that I have always followed-no manipulation and no cropping.” His work documents his Michigan surroundings, and as Hudson described it back in February: “From the very beginning of my coming-of-age photographically (about 1972), the core of my relationship with the camera has been one of respect for how it is able to transform the world I observe. Although he’s never made his living from photography (his career was in the offset printing world), it’s been his staunch personal pursuit for 40-plus years. A talented Detroit photographer, Hudson loves to speak to the world through his images, which were published in the book From the Archives in 2012 by Éditions FP&CF. Road condition rating is eligible for reimbursement from TAMC if the required training is attend and proper documentation is submitted at the end of the collection process.You may remember Don Hudson from Rangefinder’s Photo Finish column in February of this year. To fulfill the requirement of this Act each year TAMC sets requirements for road condition data collection and submission by road-owning agencies in Michigan. 199 2007) each local road agency shall annually report the mileage and condition of the road and bridge system under their jurisdiction to the TAMC. PASER Data Collection RegulationsĪccording to Act 51 (P.A. The analysis shows that over 75 percent of the team ratings are either identical or within one rating point of the QC rating. These rating, known as the QC rating, are later compared to the ratings reported by the teams. In order to ensure this uniformity, a qualified transportation technician observes and independently rates over 2,000 road segments scattered throughout the state. The goal is uniform quality: all rating teams should assign the same rating when observing a given segment of road. Various types of pavement distress are shown and there is a discussion on how various types of distress contribute to the appropriate rating for each road segment. Every year raters are required to attend PASER training and review the rating criteria. Accurate PASER ratings depend on the judgment of the raters. With over 100 teams of trained raters assessing the condition of roads statewide annually, data quality is of utmost importance to TAMC. Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Individuals must attend PASER training each year before being allowed to rate the roads. Over 100 teams of trained raters assess the condition of 86,000 lane miles of paved federal-aid eligible roads once every two years. A team of three raters composed of a representative from the MDOT, RPO/MPO, and a local agency (county, city/village) embark on an effort to rate at least 50 percent of the paved federal-aid road system each year. Learn more about the history of PASER Michigan's Annual PASER Condition Assessment - A Team EffortĮvery year since 2004 TAMC contracts with each of Michigan's twenty-one RPOs and MPOs to coordinate the annual PASER condition assessment for the paved federal-aid road system. In addition to use by the TAMC many agencies use PASER data to help manage their road systems and convey information to the public. That information has been used to generate annual reports, populated interactive maps and generate a wide range of performance measures presented in dashboards. Since 2003 the TAMC has required road agencies to collect and submit roadway condition information based on PASER.
