A black and white photograph of a space with a camera obscura image on the wall where a framed long horizontal photograph hangs above a wooden desk and chair. The inverted projected image is of the nearby area of Mill Valley in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The inverted multi story brick building structures on either side of the desk create an illusion of an alley or street. Rows of upside down arched windows converge to an unseen point on the wall. The wood grain of the desk and chair along with the floor board pattern are illuminated by the small source of light from the camera obscura.
