DescriptionUnstretched. Image of Riverside Church in New York. The image uses sharper angles to emphasize the alignment of the church on top of the hill and a visitor's path in at either angles: a walkway to the left where a figure walks their small dog, or a stairway to the right that descends from the hill. The season can be inferred as autumn through the red and orange tree (center) and the sky (upper third) slants diagonally to emphasize the top of the church over the tree.

Support the understanding and appreciation of the Japanese American experience.
