This picture was photographed by Kristin Zecchinelli and was taken from the Shutter Sisters photography blog. Although this picture is pretty plain, it fits into almost all Szarkowski's categories and has a lot of meaning to it. This picture fits into Szarkowski's categorie of time. The writing on the wall stopped someone's thoughts . In a particular moment, someone was feeling either positive or negative emotions towards themselves and wrote "I am" on the wall. This picture also fits into the category of frame. The "I am" is in the lower right corner, and we cannot tell if there is any writing below the "I am". By having the writing in the lower right corner, the photographer leaves the viewer wondering if there is more to the phrase. It also lets the viewer decide for themselves what belongs after the "I am".This picture can also fit into detail. You can see the texture of the wall and the crack going right in between the a and the m. Although this picture isn't very detailed, it is a meaningful picture that leaves the viewer guessing what the writing on the wall is all about.
