Color. A narrow alley. White cinderblock to the left, white corrugated tin to the right, naked blue bulbs of Christmas lights strung above cast a pale blue sheen over it all. At the vanishing point is a small bright rectangle.

Monochrome. Behind leaning utility poles and a leafless tree sits a simple two-story home on a berm. A white retaining law facing a parking lot below features the spray painted message ‘you are rare’.

Monochrome. Three square pillars extend up into the lower third of the frame backdropped by sky. Each pillar features a muscular torso of an Atlas-like figure straining to hold up a burden on his shoulders. High contrast heavily shadowed.

Monochrome. An Angel in a Yorktown church graveyard kneels and lifts its right arm to the sky. The afternoon sun creates contrasting shadows. Behind the Angel are the horizontal lines of an old white clapboard structure. Old and white describes Yorktown.
