Black & White Photograph by Raúl Cañibano: Untitled

Two figures, one thatched hut, and a gust that clearly has opinions.

This black and white photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Black and white photography has long been favored by documentary photographers, since removing color directs attention to light, texture, gesture and the everyday rhythms of a place. A horizontal black and white print with a white border. A thatched hut with plank walls sits at center. At left a man in light trousers flings something skyward, and the wind drags it across toward a stooped figure at right. It is 12 inches wide and 8 high.

Weather gets a credit line on this one.
