I tried to emulate the second photo of Atget with this photo. I attempted to show the extension of the road and avoided taking the photo in the dead center of the road. It was not a successful emulation in that I did not quite get the same effect as Atget's photo - the light shining through or the road curving towards the middle - but I really like how the electric wires and the cracks on the road work in this photo in giving the road a feeling of extension. They both have directions pointing towards the far end of the road, emphasizing on the dimension of the subject matter. Unlike Atget's photos, I was leaning very close to the building on the left, resulting in its brick wall becoming the most prominent part of the foreground. I think the photo can be better framed; there are a lot of extraneous objects such as cars in the photo that I find distracting.
