Devin Allen, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white street photograph by Devin Allen captures an urban memorial scene in New York. A metal utility pole stands on a concrete sidewalk, heavily wrapped in tape and decorated with stuffed teddy bears and plastic bags. Above the memorial, a street sign indicates parking restrictions and a tow-away zone. In the background, brick buildings, a parked car, and a multi-story apartment block frame the crosswalk and street. The high-contrast monochromatic grading emphasizes the textures of the brickwork, pavement, and memorial items.
