This is a photograph of a street scene with a building and a shadow cast on the pavement. The image shows the side of a building painted in a teal color with two windows visible. A sidewalk runs alongside the building, where there is a green plastic bag placed on the ground. A shadow is prominently cast on the sidewalk, extending from the street. The light suggests it might be afternoon with clear skies, as shadows are long and distinct on the pavement.

John Harding

1981

This is a photograph of an interior space with natural and artificial light creating a warm atmosphere. The scene shows a room with high contrast between shadows and light coming in through a window with blinds. In the foreground, there is a stand holding items and wooden elements. To the right, there is a glass bowl with red apples on a round table against a mirrored surface. The mirror reflects parts of the room, adding depth to the image. The arrangement of objects and use of light suggest a cozy ambiance within a public or social setting.

This is a photograph of a street scene taken from inside a car. The image captures a busy urban intersection with cars parked on the roadside and pedestrians on the sidewalk. The photograph is taken from inside a vehicle, looking through the window, which frames the scene. Sunlight is reflecting off the cars and the street, creating a bright, high contrast effect. A one-way sign and a sign reading 'Jones' are visible. A building with a green-striped awning is seen, along with various shops or storefronts. The overall atmosphere suggests a bustling city, with a mix of vehicles and pedestrians under the afternoon sun.
