Joel Meyerowitz

New York City
1974

A couple dressed in matching beige coats walks hand in hand through a bustling city street, partially enveloped by a cloud of steam rising from a manhole cover. The scene captures a moment of connection amidst the urban environment, with other pedestrians and the architecture of the buildings framing the composition.
