Two Explorer Scouts, Brooklyn, New York
1988, printed 1999

Two young individuals dressed in scout uniforms stand side by side. The one on the left wears a beret, a sash adorned with badges, and a white belt over a dark shirt and pants. The one on the right, also in a beret, has a lighter uniform with a belt and appears slightly younger. They both have serious expressions, and there's a blurred figure in the background between them, set against a backdrop of trees. The photograph is monochromatic.
