The image is a compilation of film strips with black and white photographs arranged in a contact sheet format. The photographs show snowy streets and trees taken from street-level or slightly higher vantage points. Some frames are marked with blue hand-drawn rectangles. The style suggests candid moments with attention to light and contrast, typical of black and white film photography. The color palette is monochrome, emphasizing the wintery scenes. Buildings and trees line the streets or snow-covered paths in the distance.
