A black and white photograph of a family of five standing on a wooden porch. From left to right, there are three children and two adults. The children are wearing casual clothes, with two girls flanking a younger boy in the center. The man on the right is shirtless and wearing pants, leaning slightly on the porch railing. The wooden structure of the house appears weathered, and there's a towel hanging on the railing to the left. The family gazes directly at the camera with neutral expressions.

A black and white photograph depicting a hillside scattered with a collection of old, weathered houses, some with visible wear and tear. The houses are surrounded by trees and overgrown vegetation, suggesting a rural or semi-abandoned setting. The image has a signature in the lower right corner that reads "Milton Rogovin."

A black and white photograph of a woman standing in a garden with a hoe in her hand. She is wearing a patterned skirt and a short-sleeved blouse, and she looks directly at the camera with a slight smile. The garden appears to be in a rural setting with dense foliage in the background. There is a signature at the bottom right of the image.

A black and white photograph of an individual wearing a striped shirt and a hat, standing on the porch of a weathered wooden house. The person is leaning on the railing, surrounded by lush foliage and a window with a broken pane next to them. The image has a signature at the bottom right corner.

Black and white photograph depicting a rustic wooden interior with vertical planks, some of which are inscribed with graffiti. A pair of boots is perched on a horizontal beam above the planks, and a wire hangs loosely from the ceiling. The image is framed with a white border, and there is a signature at the bottom right corner.

A black and white photograph depicting a vintage parking meter in the foreground with a clear view of its coin slot and timer. Behind the meter, part of a storefront is visible, featuring a window with the words "SANDWICHES COLD DRIN" painted on it, suggesting "COLD DRINKS" with the last letter cut off. The window displays a reflection and some items inside the store. To the right, there's a bench with a "RAMBO" sticker on it. The image has a white border with the artist's signature, "Milton Rogovin," at the bottom right.
