The texture of the peeling paint in this image of a vintage Brooklyn brownstone offers viewers a tactile insight into the passage of time itself. The low angle of the early morning light intensifies that texture, and warms the rich color which envelopes half the image. By contrasting the warmth of one side of this building with the chilly, deeply shadowed half, we can ponder the unknown side of this structure, and wonder about the inhabitants this building may have known over the years.
