This black and white photograph centers on an African American man, dressed in a suit, who holds a tube to his mouth. The tube curves, runs beneath his feet, and connects to a flaming vessel. To the left and the right of the man are wooden crossbeams. One vertical support beam to the left of the figure reads “HAITI” and another reads “65.” In front of those beams, represented in the lower right corner of the image, are two buckets.
Eleanor, Harry Callahan, gelatin silver print
This black and white photograph shows a view looking down at grasses. Some are straight but most are curled, and the grasses extend from the left to the right side of the composition and from the top to the bottom of the composition.
