Benefit Auction Response

Hannah Johnson


The photo I chose was View East from Pi Alley, Boston by Nicholas Nixon. Initially, I was drawn to the tones of the photo, it's simply a beautiful print. The way the buildings seem to curve and how the photo is cropped as though it seems the buildings have no top or bottom also caught my attention. When I looked closer, I saw all the little details such as every unique brick and the reflections in the windows. Also upon closer inspection, I realized there were almost no people in the photograph. There are only a couple of window washers, or so I assume, on the side of the building. The building has nice architecture and this picture captures its true beauty. In person, the print is extraordinary and it really brings out all the great details and makes the image even more spectacular.
