Colin Dodgson, New York

Description

This vertical architectural photograph features the exterior of a historic building painted in faded green tones, captured by photographer Colin Dodgson. A prominent series of vertical signs extends from the facade, displaying traditional Chinese characters alongside the romanized text Boon Wah in raised lettering. The building exhibits signs of age and weathering, including distressed plaster, peeling paint on shuttered windows, and aged piping running along the structure. Potted plants line the sidewalk near the ground-level entrance, which is partially shaded by awnings. The warm, desaturated colour grading and visible grain lend an archival, documentary quality to the streetscape view.
