About the Item
Colorful street life is capture with a color photograph, In 1970, very few photographers we actually shooting in color. This image celebrates color with its eye-popping red and magenta hats compliments by a pink door with graffiti. One of the give-a-ways to the date is the New York City street sign is yellow. New York City changed the color of all street signs from yellow to green in the early 1970's. Shot on Ektachrome film which gives it a vibrant color and a gritty grain to the film. Before the advent of digital photography, all photographs were shot on film. There is more personal and human feel to film, whereas digital is more about technology.
Mitchell Funk brings the compositional precision of studio photography to street photography.
Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian.
