This photo "street scene during tobacco season" has an eye catching scale with the narrowing street. buildings, and horses. It also contains people in the photo which give scale to the surrounding buildings. With the perspective that the photo was taken it seems that buildings are getting smaller and smaller. The telephone poles are very out of place as well making it seem like the buildings, people, and horses are much smaller than they actually are. They also get smaller in scale as you look farther into the photo and become almost microscopic to the viewer. I also believe that since the photo is in black and white it creates a certain dark and eerie ambiance that makes the things that are smaller scale appear smaller and the things are bigger scale appear bigger. It also seems like the road is neverending since the photo was taken so far back and in the middle of the road.
