An unknown Jackson Pollack, or a trip through the car wash? You decide.

The original image was underwhelming, but the processing was straightforward.

This is the vending area in a building where I used to work. The building dates to 1918, which explains the tile floor, electrical conduits on the walls, and shabby condition of the room. Processing was straightforward: I converted the image to black and white, a vast improvement over the dirty, pale-yellow walls, then boosted the contrast a little to bring out the full range of tones.
