DescriptionUnstretched. Image of a street corner of a residential neighborhood in New York. Densely packed apartment buildings indicate a lower-income neighborhood. Side of a 4-story, apartment complex (right foreground) in dark brown and purples give perspective going from right to left; sides of apartment are a random pattern of bright colors contrasting the gloominess of the sky and street. A large ad (mural?) is the focal point of the image - a provocatively dressed woman posed on her side. Two figures are seen loitering on the street by the ad.
