At first glace, its difficult to distinguish the object used in Alberson’s piece, this is due to his framing techniques. In his photos, Albertson zooms and crops his photos to give them a frame, the example piece above shows strips of masking tape. The fact that it’s a unnoticeable object, makes the photo more interesting and opens up a topic of interpretation. However, at first glance as Callahan’s work, it is easily noticeable that he has photographed a group of bare trees with a snowy ground.

These two photos also differentiate in a less noticeable way. As these photos were taken 60 years apart, it is safe to assume that the development and editing processes are very different. Callahan’s process most likely consisted of developing the photo in a dark room, this is because this process was the most popular way of developing in the time era. Whereas, Albertson’s piece was most likely taken with a modernised digital camera, with editing facilities to crop and enhance the photo.
