Description
Colorized photo from 1940, July
Original title: Waiting for a street car
Photographer: John Vachon
Location: Clark & Van Buren St, Chicago, IL
There was no info about this scene, no location, or what is happening in the direction they are looking in. I can't imagine they all looked when the photographer said: hey you, look over there!
I tried to look up Hartman's drugs, but couldn't find a location that also had a street corner and a set of stairs. I tried to look in the areas he photographed but found no pattern, then gave up. Because I couldn't find the exact location, I don't know what the actual color was for those stairs. I had the choice of beige, blue or sort of a rusty red color. I don't think it was beige, the shades are too dark, and I didn't want red because it would blend with the background, so blue it is.
I mostly liked the Rockwell feel to this, and the look of disgust on many of the faces all looking in the same direction.
I think the street is correct.
