A transformative photograph with emotive color emerges from the lens of Photographer Mitchell Funk. For him, it's about capturing extreme light as it strikes form. In the present image, raking light skims off a pre-war facade in lower Manhattan. An oversized billboard attached to the facade has the same semi-abstract quality as the building. That effect is achieved because the billboard is turned at an angle, picking up reflected light from the adjacent building. Funk's harnessing of dual light sources on an intensely clear day make this powerful yet delicate image possible. br Mitchell Funk brings the compositional exactitude of a studio photographer to street photography. He is an abstractionist while being a documentarian. br The work is signed, dated, and numbered 3\\u002F15 lower right recto, with other sizes available, and it's unframed and printed later.
