After observing all of the pictures for this assignment, I decided to choose “The Lams of Ludlow Street” by Thomas Holton. This caught my attention the most because its very artistic to me. The setting seems like its shown in a dark alley with a light above the door somewhere. the words and symbols really catch your eye. Just look at this thing. Its a mess in a very visual perspective. I see words like Nymz, Scar, Serch DFM, and all sorts of scribbles. It really sets the mood like as if the artist was either angry or sad. I could be wrong but you never know.
The photographer used a frame within a frame because There is a door in the background. He sort of used patterns and repetition. There is definitely contrast of light and dark with some gray areas there. Other than that this is a beautiful photograph.
this photo is the first photo in a series about the Lam family. It certainly sets the scene. it tells a lot about where they live. Formally, you correctly identify this photo as using a frame within a frame. While the graffiti creates visual interest all over the door, I wouldn’t call it either pattern or repetition. None of it is regular or repeats.
