When I was out taking photos for our in-class assignment, I decided to take pictures of the the doors coming into Wismer while coming up the staircase. I realized that this struck me as possible place to document because I had seen Friedlander's work in class. My attempt at a similar photo is below.
Clearly, there are some differences between the photographs. First, both subjects in my photo are walking the same direction, which does not necessarily reveal differences between class and gender as Friedlander's does. And my photo is in color. Still, the photographs have similar coloring because the back lighting helps to wash out the color to the point where its coloring is not far from black and white. Also, the lines of the door frames and reflections in my photo aim to mimic Friedlander's, which hopefully gave my photo a similar feel, in the sense that they are passing through a transitional, or liminal, space.
