Ralston Crawford

(Street, Shadows, New Orleans)
1973

Black and white photograph of a street corner with a vintage building featuring ornate ironwork balconies. The building shows signs of wear and age, with boarded-up windows and peeling paint. Shadows cast by the balcony railings create patterns on the facade. A fire hydrant is visible on the sidewalk, and there's a clear sky above.
