Black and white full length photo of a man in a dark suit facing away from the camera in a doorway. The walls of both the room that the photo is taken from and the room beyond are very nearly white.

A 16 story building, bathed in the orange-yellow light of a sunset on one side. In the foreground, the building is reflected on the roof of a parked car. A dramatic overcast sky looms above.

Classic bit from a Clouseau movie. Clouseau: “Does your dog bit?” Innkeeper: “No.” Clouseau bends to pet dog: “Nice Doggy.” Dog snarls and bites his hand. Clouseau: “I thought you said your dog did not bite.” Innkeeper: “That is not my dog.”

Busy color photo with two American flags, a sign, a mill building, blue sky and clouds, orange leaf decorations, blurry fairy lights. It’s all juxtapositioned randomly across the image.
