When taking this photo, I think that Paul Strand emphasized three elements: the shapes formed by lines, the repeating patterns, and the contrast between black and white.

If I were the photographer, I would name this photo Light and Shadow. This is fully shown in the photo, where the illuminated light creates shadows, forming a clear contrast between black and white and producing an interesting pattern.

One unusual component of this is the setting; the photographer took it from a unique perspective and an environment that I do not know the location of.

The formal elements in this photo link together, creating a visually appealing view. The lines from the shadows create rectangular and triangular shapes, while the repetition creates a pattern. Moreover, although it is not the focus, the shades create texture, and the concrete table surface implies a smooth and hard surface; the true focus in this photo, I think, is the tone, in which there is a clear contrast between the shadowed and not shadowed parts. This is also my favorite part of this photograph. I like how the shadows can unconsciously create interesting patterns that consciousness cannot produce.
