Sometimes the essence of a photograph is found in the negative. By all measures, it appears this image was taken at a military installation, two brothers in arms wearing unit shorts displaying the snake, the iconic symbol of American identity and readiness. Interesting however that the flair anomaly is concentrated on the man in black—crotch flair and pit missile. This image appears as a negative due to a mid-century duplication or printing anomaly, where tonal values were never fully corrected—leaving light and shadow reversed. The result is an unintentional and powerful transformation, the photograph shifts to both documentation and abstraction.
