This is a photograph of a contact sheet containing several black and white negative images. The sheet features multiple rows of small black and white photographs with perforated edges, as they are contact prints from a roll of 35mm film negatives. Some frames in the contact sheet are marked with colored grease pencil, highlighting certain images. These markings include red and blue hand-drawn lines circling frames and numbers. The images capture urban scenes, with shots of streets, buildings, and various everyday life activities.
