New York City
1980

A black and white photograph capturing a bustling city scene with a young girl in the foreground taking a photo with a camera. She is standing on a curb and is dressed in a coat over a dress with knee-high socks and Mary Jane shoes. In the background, various people are walking by, including two women in conversation and a man in a dark suit. The architecture suggests an urban environment with tall buildings and a large ornate door to the right. There is some litter on the ground, adding to the candid nature of the scene.
