Found Image

Here is an image I found on the web by a man named Stanley Greenberg. This image is from the water systems in New York. The appeared repetition of circles going back into the tunnel creates pattern in the image and also give depth to photo. There is an overall gray tone to the image, it is not extremely contrasty but the shadows are dark and create interesting extra lines in the image.

  1. In addition to the details you mention, I especially like the textures in the foreground of this image.

    It's interesting that some of the first photographs taken with artificial light were of the sewers and catacombs of Paris, taken by Felix Nadar.
