Nice, I think black and white is a good choice. I like the contrast between the repetition of all the windows and the wet wall.
Reminds me a little of Michael Wolf's density photos, check them out at:

Posted by Jon Clark at April 24, 2005 04:44 AMThe moisture patterns on the wall and on the balconies are really interesting. I also like the lamps. I counted 6 in all. Great shot
Pretty depressive ... but hey, that's a feeling too! :)
Posted by Honza Vlach at April 24, 2005 08:37 AMI particularly like the detail of the white lamps behind the white curtains. It brings a caracter of domesticity hidden in the brutality of the grey, wetty stained façade of the apartment block. There is life in there!
Posted by Nuno Cruz at April 24, 2005 09:00 AMone lamp by water, two lamps by land...
Looks like blood dripping down the side of the building. heh
Posted by Raffi at April 24, 2005 09:55 AMWhat I find interesting in this shot, so appropriately black and white, is that it presents so much to see if we take time to look.
I wonder if those lamps are general issue and come with the signing of the lease. What would happen if they all had orange shades?
Never mind, Sam, I heard a robin this morning; of course he may have just been saying, "Goodbye".
Posted by Ron at April 24, 2005 10:01 AMHeh. The lamps in some of the windows are hilarious. Gives the bleak building a bit of charm. It's like: hey, people actually live there!
Posted by animoid at April 24, 2005 12:12 PMI like how your lens has flattened out this image. The decay and streaking provides great grain and texture. For some reason, my eye is attracted to that lamp near the center. Effective composition.

Posted by Polaroid at April 24, 2005 01:58 PMI really liked this snap. I like the greys in it and texture created by rain on the right side of the building. It is an intersting picture. In fact i am becoming a great fan of ure work.
Amina

Posted by Amirali at April 24, 2005 04:34 PMAs a photo: brilliant, as usual.
As living space: horribly depressing.
I think the color is not correct.
Hehe.Sorry,my English level is very poor.
First thing that came to mind: a microscopic view of a used and leaking tampon.
Posted by Boreo at April 25, 2005 01:25 AMPerhaps its a hotel, thus the similarity between rooms.
The picture itself is very compelling. Keep up the good work.
Posted by J at April 25, 2005 01:52 AMHey! that's my university residence! You must live close by.
The picture is great, but our building looks much better on the inside.
Posted by John at April 25, 2005 10:02 AMI think b & w was a good choice here. Whatever that white streaking stuff is on the side of the building makes for a great contrast effect. Nice capture and great work as always.
Posted by Abe at April 27, 2005 06:05 AMhey, ain't that 89 chesnut rez ?
