The color-hunting eye of veteran street photographer Mitchell Funk transforms drab street scenes into sanctuaries of luminous bright colors. Manhattan's grey canyons receive only fleeting moments of light and are mostly devoid of color. That's where the color-hunter Mitchell Funk comes in. After more than 53 years of shooting in New York, his senses are keenly attuned to finding the right oasis at the right instant. Snap! He documents a small zone of color on a drab street, and in an instant, the light is gone. In "Dog Walker," the viewers' eyes are met equally by colorful figures and colorful backgrounds. It's all supercharged by Funk's intense raking light. br The photograph is signed, dated, numbered, 3\\u002F15 lower right; another size is available.
