PHOTOGRAPHY – That familiar orange-and-pink logo

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – When professional photographer Anna Low moved in Providence from Chicago, she found something puzzling and strangely eye-catching nearly wherever she looked.
A familiar orange-and-pink coffee shop logo.
So she set out to photograph all the Dunkin’ Donuts near her home in Providence in what she describes as a “tongue-in cheek” project. The result is a new exhibit at Providence City Hall called “36 Dunkin’ Donuts in a Three-Mile Radius of Home.”
Low was struck by the monotony of the shops – specifically, the “really awful commercial architecture” – as she photographed three-dozen facades over a roughly two-week period.
Still, Low acknowledged some of the Dunkin’ Donuts she saw did make an effort to fit in with the surrounding buildings, and that there were some differences in form and function from store to store.
Low used an antique printing process to produce separate negatives in black, as well as pink and orange. The 36 pictures include only those colors.
Paul Brooks, who oversees the rotating exhibits at the City Hall gallery on the building’s second floor, said the photographs remind him of Andy Warhol’s iconic paintings of Campbell’s soup cans.
