Blog Post 8/24

Chicago (22) was shot by photographer Aaron Siskind in 1960. This picture appears to be paint or layers peeling off a wall outside. The photo is in black and white so there are many different shades of gray present throughout it. The texture seems rough in the center of the image where the wall is peeling, but the rest of the wall looks smooth. The lines that exist on the wall are both vertical and horizontal throughout the picture. A few letters are visible underneath the part of the wall that has started to peel. In the upper left corner, a reflection of a tree is visible. The branches curve around the corner of the photograph.
