For the new book "Handcrafted Modern," Leslie Williamson used only natural lighting to photograph the homes of George Nakashima, Albert Frey, Vladimir Kagan, J.B. Blunk and other giants of post-World War II modernism. We asked Williamson to tell the stories behind pictures. Shown here: the Valley Forge, Penn., home of Wharton Esherick (1887-1970). The spiral staircase was exhibited at the 1939 World's Fair. "It was a little challenging going up and down the staircase with my tripod and camera," Williamson says. "At one point I even had my tripod on the stairs. That was precarious."](http://www.trbimg.com/img/turbine/la-hm-handcrafted-modern-photos-001/620 "By David A. Keeps
