This is a contact sheet displaying multiple images of the Hollywood sign. It features small, rectangular negative frames arranged in a grid pattern, showing various angled shots of hills and the sign. The images vary in lighting and perspective, with some clearer than others. Two frames are marked with orange pencil or crayon, potentially indicating selection for further consideration. The shots are monochrome, suggesting they may have been taken on black and white film.
