Stickball Dance - New York
1954, printed 1981

A black and white photograph capturing a candid moment of children playing on a city street. The motion blur suggests movement, with one girl in a patterned dress twirling, another walking by, and a boy in the background looking on. The scene conveys a sense of lively childhood energy.
