This photograph is interesting to me because it reveals a way of life, and puts a person in that surroundings without a person really being in the photograph. I love the use of light, and how dark it is. I like the small hints of highlights, and how even though the window is in the photograph, it is not blown out, but instead, gray. It gives the feeling of sadness. DeCarava's work is very dark- aesthetically and emotionally, which relates to my work because I tend to print my photographs dark, to create a darker mood.
