House, Last Light
Joel Meyerowitz
Description
Subject Matter:
This photograph features the gable of a house's roof. The subject matter is tightly cropped on both sides; the tips of the two eaves nearly touch the bottom corners of the image. The light of the sunset shines obliquely from above, illuminating most of the gable, while leaving the bottom part of the house in shadows. A pair of sliding windows are affixed to the gable, directly catching the golden orange sunlight, while a propped-open skylight window on the side of the roof radiates the reflected light from within. A small crescent moon hangs in the mauvish pink sky.
Physical Description:
Photograph represents the peaked upper-most portion of a house at sunset. The sky casts red, orange, purple and blue colors against the building. The house has many windows and a skylight.
