The image is of a house rooted in the ground by a root system. The house is pretty beaten up and has shattered glass and discolored paint. The image itself is black and white. The lighting is during the day time and uses black and white to paint a dark theme onto the image. There is a house with a root system and it looks like the house is in a pretty mountainous region.

This image is of two pictures combined a tree and roots. The colors are black and white / greyscale. It's mostly just shadows and light around the image. The things in the image is a house and a tree root. Nothing really is included just some extra houses and leaves. I don't think anything is happening but I know that these images were two separate ones and then were combined together.

In this photo there is a house that has roots going into the ground. The photo is black and white with shadows in the gaps of the roots. The house has windows that are broken. The house looks like it's deserted. It looks like it is getting sucked into the ground.

This is an image of an old abandoned house that appears to have roots. The windows are shattered, it appears that the paint has been worn over the years, and the roots are quite thick. The house almost seems like it grew out of the ground. We can see other houses in the background of the image. The house seems to be positioned in a rural area, and the terrain is hilly. It is a black and white image, probably to give it that old vibe. The image was taken in the daylight, but the black and white coloring sort of limits the colors used. But the black and white are necessary to emit the feeling the photographer desires.

This is a black and white picture of a house growing huge roots out of it. The house looks old and has broken windows. It is in a neighborhood with other houses near it. The roots look above ground and are connected to the house. The house also has pillars by the front door with the roots connected to them. The photo is dark and there are leaves and sticks on the roots.

The photograph produced by Jerry Uelsmann is of a house that looks like it’s growing from a tree. The image is only in black and white but everything looks very clear and well exposed. The lighting looks as if it were a cloudy day but yet enhances the overall quality of the image. There are houses that surround the house that is on the tree trunk and these houses look like they are made out of bricks or cement. The houses don’t look modern because of the structure and materials that were used. The main house looks quite old but doesn’t look completely wrecked because the windows are intact.

The image is of a house with roots, rooted into the ground. The colors are black and white. The lighting is light because you can see every detail. The objects in the image are the house and some background buildings. Nothing is seeming to happen in the image, just the house standing there.

This image is of a big tree trunk that kind of molds into a run down house. The house just looks sad and forgotten with broken windows, rubbed off paint, and rotted out wood. The image is blck and white, most likely to give a sense of eeriness and to show that the house is old. The image is a bit darker with more shadows. The objects in the image are the house tree trunk and a hilly background dotted with houses. In the image there is an eerie, rundown, forgotten house tree thing.

This image is of a house that is rooted in the ground. The house doesn’t look like it’s in a good location. The image is very dark and mysterious. The sky is very cloudy and blocks out a lot of the light. The house also looks very beat up and run down. Comments are closed.
