Black thing on road...

4" x 5" film came in cut sheets, loaded individually and in film packs that held 8 exposures. The black thing looks like the first "pull" from a film pack that then uncovers the film for exposure.

 

What is...

First, this is a tremendous photo.

Second, what is that black thing on the road the baby is looking at? A film holder?

[I wondered that myself. Looks a little like the monolith from "2001." - Dave]
