Behind it, a person in a blue dress walks a small cream-coloured dog on a leash. To the right, a plywood board mounted outdoors displays a historical town map and black-and-white archival photographs. Bright midday sun throws hard shadows across the stone. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00002/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00002.jpg?v=4630f52c13d7 Photograph by John Braybrooke A view through the glass front of a clinic. White and yellow vinyl lettering on the window reads 'ACUPUNCTURE', 'SHOCKWAVE' and 'ICBC PROVIDER'. Behind and reflected in the glass, a man with closely cropped hair is seen from behind in a dark patterned sweatshirt printed with a 'Blue Moose — Hope, British Columbia, Canada' logo. A white moulded chair stands in the foreground while reflections of the street layer over the interior. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00003/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00003.jpg?v=f02e9b53b8b3 Photograph by John Braybrooke A pale blue ceramic dog bowl, decorated with a black bone and a chevron band and filled with water, rests on a sunlit concrete sidewalk. Beside it stands a black A-frame sandwich board for The Parkside Brewery, illustrated with a yellow iced drink, a lemon slice and a red straw, above the words 'PURCHASE … FOR … BEER'. Strong angular shadows cross the pavement. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00004/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00004.jpg?v=b8800d7ec4ed Photograph by John Braybrooke Photographed from the sidewalk through a shop window. A black-and-white 'OPEN' sign hangs from a beaded chain on a suction cup against the dark glass. Behind it, inside the shop, stands a mannequin of a man in a red mesh tank top, dramatically lit so he seems to gaze out through the glass toward the street. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00005/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00005.jpg?v=70463a799083 Photograph by John Braybrooke Seen from outside through a window, a rounded white soft-toy figure in a pink polka-dot dress stands on an interior sill among other small objects. Green oak-leaf foliage fills the lower foreground, and the building's orange and yellow walls frame the glass. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00006/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00006.jpg?v=4e6945f051bd Photograph by John Braybrooke Photographed from below, the corner of a billboard cuts diagonally across a blue sky streaked with thin cloud. A black floodlight reaches out on an arm to light the board, which shows a woman with wind-blown dark hair and white sunglasses, smiling, her image skewed by the steep upward angle. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00007/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00007.jpg?v=971aadff43a3 Photograph by John Braybrooke A weathered advertising poster behind glass, washed by sunlight and crossed by reflections. It pictures a blonde woman in a white top, eyes closed and smiling, with hands resting on her shoulders. The print has abraded and peeled, and a crumpled scrap of paper sits over the centre of her face. A blue perforated panel runs down the right edge. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00008/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00008.jpg?v=b93fba27ecbb Photograph by John Braybrooke Two life-size cardboard cutouts of women's faces rise just above a dense green hedge, positioned in front of a building's large windows so they seem to peer over the foliage. The glass behind them reflects trees and a neighbouring building. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00009/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00009.jpg?v=95cfff8b34ca Photograph by John Braybrooke Large and small versions of the same smiling face appear on a textured white masonry wall. The large portrait is rendered in black halftone dots across overlapping sheets of pasted paper and crossed on the right by purple spray paint. A smaller version sits at the upper left among cropped black lettering, while hard sunlight throws diagonal shadows over the paper and wall. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00010/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00010.jpg?v=cf47c6235bfa Photograph by John Braybrooke A white plastic road barricade leans to one side at the edge of a sidewalk, its long rail marked with alternating orange and white diagonal stripes. Behind it, ornamental grass grows in a rust-coloured planter beneath a dark shop window displaying small bags. Strong sunlight casts crisp tree shadows and the silhouette of a person across the concrete wall, paving and barricade. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00011/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00011.jpg?v=6182e6cfd9dd Photograph by John Braybrooke A temporary white sign fills a shallow recess in a pale grey stucco wall. Large red capital letters read 'FRESH BEER THIS WAY' above a broad arrow pointing right. The sign is held in place by wrinkled beige paper and many strips of masking tape, with leaf shadows falling across it and a beer keg partly visible at the far right. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00012/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00012.jpg?v=a7ed0136069a Photograph by John Braybrooke Seen from behind, a yellow sunflower leans toward the red bars and broad central post of a metal fence. Its green, bristled flower head and stem face the camera while the petals spread unevenly around them. Fine spiderwebs catch between the bars, and a sunlit garden falls out of focus beyond the fence. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00013/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00013.jpg?v=e50780128221 Photograph by John Braybrooke A close view of a faded printed portrait showing a smiling astronaut with short dark hair and a moustache. His face is tinted pale pink and blue, with the circular collar of his spacesuit visible around his shoulders. Scuffs, creases and a small torn patch mark the image, while faint reflections and glare wash across its surface. https://johnbraybrooke.com/photos/photo-00014/ https://johnbraybrooke.com/images/large/photo-00014.jpg?v=b269fc04752f Photograph by John Braybrooke White capital letters spelling 'NEEDS' sit alone on a broad grey storefront panel. Strong sunlight throws a pattern of long diagonal shadows across the word and wall. Metal framing, a white drainpipe and cropped pale pink-and-white panels edge the otherwise spare composition.
