The challenge for this assignment was to produce a "Photograph that was also not a photograph".  Obviously interpretations for this riddle are going to range from the literal to the conceptual.  I went for something a bit more rational; to me, photographs as a technology are a certain kind of passive imprint.  Something more enveloping than say a specific scrawl on a blackboard with a piece of chalk.  An all at once imprinted record of the scene in front.  The spray-painted border of this subject is like that; just as light hits the camera sensor or film without human guidance (we can aim light and control the limits, just not move the particles themselves), so did the paint particles fall onto the sidewalk.  And this image is also not a photograph because it's subject matter is a lack of subject; the traces are there but whatever occupied the space prior is missing.  Open to interpretation I know, but I'm content with these colors as well as the presentation of shapes that make up this Schrodinger's Photograph.
