Chattanooga

I was walking down 24th St. the other day and saw this on the ground. The white paint (plaster?) made the entire thing look naturally black and white. I love the tiny bits of color in the plants, and the leaves that look like they’re embedded in the sidewalk. After last week’s rains, the paint’s been washed away and it looks like any ol’ boring street corner now. Dang. So I made a print of this and immediately Joel pointed out alum Antonio Iannarone’s photos of street corners.
These are part of a book – Depositions (something for The Independent Photo Book?). I believe he’s also shown this work, and when I saw some snaps of the show, it turned out that he was the guy pulling an all-nighter in the darkroom last week. Ah, coincidence.
