42nd Street
1979

A collage of black and white photographs featuring various people, likely from the 1970s or 1980s. The top left photo shows a shirtless young man with a tattoo, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The top right photo depicts a person leaning on a pole next to a child. The middle left photo shows two individuals embracing and smiling on a city street at night. The middle right photo captures a person in a black outfit with a hat, leaning against a wall. The bottom left photo includes a group of four young people, three standing and one sitting, all dressed in casual attire. The bottom right photo shows two individuals, one in a cap, looking towards the camera with urban surroundings in the background. The images convey a sense of urban street life and youth culture.
