In 2003 , the photographer Bruce Haley self - published a wonderful limited edition portfolio called 13 Million Tons of Pig Iron . Sparing no expense by printing with the legendary Meriden Gravure in a unique drytrap process on heavy weight paper , the portfolio consists of 13 loose plates of photographs plus title and edition plates . All copies are signed and numbered in an edition of 500.Starting in 1999 and working with a 35 mm panoramic camera loaded with black and white film , Haley wandered the industrial wastelands of Eastern Europe .
