This image is the work of a photographer called Dan Graham. In his work titled "Homes for America" he took a series of images showing "the issue of such row houses as a new form of urban living" (Media Art Net) He shot them using a very basic camera and "Graham intentionally ignores certain techniques and uses standard, cheap color prints, like a photo journalist" (Media Art Net).
What attracted my interest in Dan Graham's work was the colours used in the images which almost gives the sense of each house hold has a different personality and by shooting the image like this, he is showing a neighbour of different personalities but the uniformity of the houses show how they relate together in space.
