Crosswalks

This series focuses on images that prominently include crosswalks. Crosswalks provide benefits beyond their practical purpose. They channel pedestrians, sometimes few and often many, into a tidy zone of moving humanity. The number of pedestrians on the crosswalk can result in two distinct sounds. For images with a large group of pedestrians, the depicted hustle and bustle allows one to almost hear the cars and noise of the city. Images with few pedestrians sound quiet in comparison. Finally, a crosswalk's white zebra pattern on black asphalt adds considerable, ready-made character, lines, and contrast to any image.
