Bankers Trust Company, New York 1960
This image was taken at a bank in the 1960's. It takes you back to a time before computers were used for everything in the day to day business in everyone's lives. It's interesting to see the monstrous set up of all the files. It is visually interesting that the files form a curved edge, rather than being in a squared filing cabinet like most people are used to seeing in the present day. It is also interesting that all three of the women in the photo look very similar. Same hair style, very similar clothing, yet in three very unique positions and heights. The lines of the filing cabinet and on the stools provides the eye with a place to travel. It's nice that there is somewhat repetitive pattern among the files while there is also a similarity with the figures on the right side of the frame.
Vaucluse, France 1956
This image was taken in 1956 in Vaucluse, France. These people appear to be enjoying a beautiful experience. They are sharing a meal near the water. All you really see on the table is bread and bottles. Be don't know if the bottles were filled with water or something else, perhaps alcohol but the people look very free and happy. It makes me wonder the reason for the gathering because there are only about three men in this large group. It is dominated by women. It is visually pleasing that he filled the bottom half of the frame with the people and showed the surrounding environment with the remainder of the frame.
