^^ That! The neutral colors, texture and flow of that piece is really interesting. I also may be biased to it since it reminds me of musical symbols.. That would be a great tattoo..

Richmond, California / "It Was Never Like This Back Home"

Dorothea Lange
American, about 1943, Richmond, California
Gelatin silver print
9 3/4 x 7 3/4 in.
2000.50.17

With a fur jacket draped over her shoulders, this woman appears strangely overdressed for broad daylight-and for the casual Richmond Café behind her. During World War II, Richmond, California was home to the largest and most productive enterprise of the war, the Kaiser shipyards. Shipyard employees could work any one of three 8-hour shifts per day. Night shift workers sought typical evening activities during the day, which may explain this young woman's somewhat flamboyant attire. This is one of many photographs of Richmond that Dorothea Lange, along with photographer Ansel Adams, made for Fortune magazine, which wanted to document life in the wartime boomtown.

Christopher Bucklow, "Guest" series

The "Guest" series establishes a cast of characters drawn from his circle of friends - and in some cases - foes.
The process Bucklow uses creates an unusually intense quality of light and the images are formed using sunlight with a technique similar to the pinhole photography developed in the late nineteenth century.
He begins by making life-size silhouette drawings direct from the sitter's shadow on to sheets of aluminium foil, which is then painstakingly penetrated with thousands of pinholes within the outline of the shape....
