Norman Jean Roy, Photographer, New York

Description

A monochrome photograph captures a woman walking on a city street lined with parked cars and buildings. She wears a dark, elaborate gown with feathers on the bodice and skirt, and a glimpse of glittering material peeks out from the high slit. Ankle boots finish the ensemble. Her hair is windblown, and her arms are outstretched for balance. The street is asphalt, and the background includes buildings of varying heights and architectural styles, along with streetlights and traffic signals. The light suggests overcast conditions. The grayscale rendering lends a timeless quality to the image.
