Did You Know?

Amityville, the setting for the novel The Amityville Horror and films based on it, has under 10,000 inhabitants.

Description

Dawoud Bey made this photograph using Polaroid Type 55 film, a black-and-white, peel-apart film which yields both a positive print and a negative image. You can see the vertical line that resulted from peeling the layers along the right edge. Bey gave the instant print to the sitter and used the negative to make luscious, enlarged, gelatin silver prints.
