Leafless Tree Monochromatic Winter Snow Scene in Central Park in Cool Greys
-
Description
A monochromatic winter snow scene in Central Park with a leafless tress raises questions. How can a city with over 8 million people jammed into a small space yield an expansive, unpopulated space? Photographer Mitchell Funk would answer, "know your spots and know your moments". This image is a striking example of graphic simplicity. Through Funk's lens, the leafless tree becomes an abstract pattern punctuated surrounded by empty space. Two semi-silhouetted figures punctuate the scene and give it scale.
