The document compares and contrasts several pairs of photographs. It notes that for Diane Arbus' "Identical Twins" and Loretta Lux's "The Walk", the children are arranged asymmetrically and appear disconnected from one another. It also states that Lux's photo is more manipulated than Arbus'. For Lewis Baltz's "Construction Detail" and Carl Kleiner's photo for IKEA, it finds that they both use similar geometric forms that mirror each other, but that Kleiner's was taken commercially while Baltz's was not.
