Color Photograph by Manuel Larrañaga Sardiñas: 749, Framed

Turquoise car glides down a narrow gray lane, glare sparkling at its windshield.

This framed color photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Pigment prints are made with pigment-based inks on paper, a process generally chosen for stable colour and fine tonal detail in contemporary photography. Petite color photograph of a pale teal car facing the viewer, centered in a canyon of faded tall buildings rendered in grayscale. Chrome trim and a yellow plate catch the light. The image sits inside a wide white mat and black frame. It is 12 inches wide and 13.5 high.

The only thing in color on the street, and it knows.
