SOOT ON BRICK?
I doubt the black on these bricks is original but it's served to enhance the three dimensional face. I also relish the pebbles in the mortar.

WHITE GLAZED BRICK W/ BROWN SWIRL
Spotted in BPW where a man demanded to know WTF I was doing taking Pixs of his wall. I hear this about once every few weeks and explained I pix bricks. He wanted to know if they were 'worth anything.'
I said: yes indeed and I would buy all of them for 100.00. He eventually confessed he was only renting and couldn't sell them to me. What a chump.
