A black and white photograph capturing a man in profile as he walks past a large textured print or poster on a wall. The man is focused on his smartphone, which he is holding in his hands. He is dressed in a checkered shirt, trousers, and has a bag slung over his shoulder. The print behind him has a rough, peeling texture that contrasts with the smooth appearance of his clothing.

A black and white photograph featuring a textured wall covered with layers of torn posters and graffiti. Large, out-of-focus light orbs dominate the foreground, creating a bokeh effect that partially obscures the detailed background.
A black and white urban scene showing a sidewalk with a sign that reads "SIDEWALK CLOSED PLEASE USE OTHER SIDE," next to a covered motorcycle parked in front of a large white banner with a black paw print design. The setting includes a brick wall and steel beams, with shadows casting patterns on the surfaces.
A torn and peeling poster on a wooden surface with a geometric pattern, partially obscured by shadows, in black and white.
A black and white photograph capturing a person walking past a weathered urban wall with a large abstract poster. The ground is covered with patches of melting snow, and the individual is dressed in a winter jacket and beanie, carrying a small object in their right hand.
A black and white photograph displaying a large, weathered poster of the letter 'A' affixed to a textured urban wall covered with various layers of peeling paint and graffiti. The scene includes a glimpse of a construction site in the background, with a partially visible building covered in protective sheathing.
A black and white photograph capturing an urban scene with a large poster featuring a bold triangle design on a wall. The wall shows signs of wear and tear with peeling layers and graffiti. In the background, modern and mid-century style buildings rise against a clear sky. The foreground includes a curb and a paved street, contributing to the gritty aesthetic of the scene.
A black and white photograph capturing a partial view of a weathered poster with bold geometric shapes and a large number "7" on a wall. The foreground is blurred with the motion of a person's arm and body passing by, creating a dynamic contrast between the stillness of the poster and the movement of the passerby.
A black and white photograph with a complex, layered composition that includes a silhouette of a person painted on a wall, overlaid with reflections of trees and buildings, creating a dreamlike, abstract scene.
