This is a photograph of a contact sheet displaying multiple film negatives. The contact sheet is filled with rows of black and white film strips laid out on a dark surface. Each film strip contains a series of photographic frames that capture scenes from daily life and street scenes. Some frames showcase vehicles, markets with stacks of produce, and street items. Toward the upper part of the sheet is a manually inscribed number "17" and two frames are outlined with hand-drawn blue rectangular shapes. The contact sheet provides a glimpse into varied activities and urban environments, preserved as small visual segments frozen in time.
