Street Photography: 2023

A boy, perhaps thirteen, Latino, curly haired, wears a scarf around the bottom of his face, dark eyes the only thing visible. He wears a blue puffer coat, and looks directly at the camera; everyone else in the frame wears blue coats too, but face away.
A young blonde woman with blonde hair walks down the street in a silver puffer coat. She eats snacks from a blue bag.
An East Asian man with slicked back hair and brown sunglasses and a leather jacket looks over the shoulder of an East Asian woman in a pink puffer. A traffic light is above his head, as is the sign "No turn on red."
A young white man with dark hair embraces a woman in a red jumpsuit, his head on her shoulder, on a tree lined street.
An East Asian woman, perhaps in her 50s, wears a blue knit cap and peeks out from a cart full of hanging DC garb. She holds a red MAGA hoodie to her chest.
A black and white photo: An Asian man in a ball cap, white t-shirt, and shorts frowns, his head hanging a bit as he sits on a park bench. Pigeons strut about in the sun in front of him.
Seen at a Dutch angle, a Black man in a grey hoodie and blue puffer vest gestures with his right hand. He is leaning against a boarded up wall covered in torn posters that read Siren Basics.
Two Black men work on a street, one of its flagstones removed, each in a yellow high visibility vest. The man on the left stands, a tool resembling a giant caulking gun in his hand. He looks at the camera. The second man is on the ground, peering into the hole in the ground.
Two desi women, perhaps in their 50s, sit in a park in saris; the woman on the left in red, the woman on the right in blue, black, and a multicolored dupatta. They are deep in chat, clouds hanging heavy overhead.
A woman in a blue coat and a black bob is turned away from the camera. She holds a cell phone to her ear, and a yellow old-fashioned phone receiver in her other hand. A white wall and bushes stretch behind her.
Three white people stand at a street curb in the sun, halation turning their skin red. The two men wear suits; the woman a red shawl.
A young man and middle-aged woman, both East Asian, speak together on a street. The woman, in a sun hat and green sweater, points up at something off camera. The man, a black hoodie with a white X draped over his back, follows her gaze.
A black and white photo: Under a bridge, cop cars coat the street. Three woman walk in three directions, forming a triangle: a Latina woman in a white tank and white pants, a white woman in a white tank and dark pants, and a dark haired woman in a dark shirt and dark pants.
In front of the giant globe that sits outside of NYC's Trump Tower, a young Black man in a grey sweatshirt and black sweatpants looks down at his phone, one hand tucked into the waistband of his pants.
Two women, one white, one brown skinned, hold hands as they walk down the street. The brown skinned woman wears a crop top and long shorts; the white woman, long shorts and a white t-shirt reading PRIDE.
A white elderly couple, the man in a white suit jacket, white vest, and khaki pants, and the woman in a blue jacket, pink t-shirt, and khaki pants, walk into the sun, crossing a street.
A white couple, perhaps in their 50s, walk hand-in-hand down a sunny street; the man bald in a white shirt, the woman blonde in a pink tank top—she looks directly at the camera.
A crowd, of all white people, mostly women in tank tops and shorts, crosses a street. They are parted—and are actively pulling away from—a shirtless, muscled, bearded Black man in red and black pants who is walking a massive black dog.
With smoke rising from the street, a black car rolling through it, a white man in black sunglasses and a black coat is seen in profile, mouth set.
A black and white photo: A hall, largely in shadow, slices of light forming stripes on the walls and illuminating the arched ceiling. A lone figure is in one of the slashes of light, carrying two bags, one in each hand.
On a sunny day, their shadows long behind them, two Black teen girls walk through a park. The girl on the right wears a white crop top, jeans, and thin sunglasses; she carries a giant black Telfar bag. The girl on the left wears a brown sweater covered in smiling daisies, an identical Telfar, and wears large, chunky glasses. Each tilts their head up, junoesque.
A black and white photo: An East Asian couple smiles at the camera in front of a gate. The man, shirtless, throws up a peace sign; the woman, in a black tank top, puts her tongue in her cheek, lips parted. Light leaks streak horizontally across the frame.
The Washington monument looms from behind green trees. A Black teen boy marches in a parade, beating a giant drum; seen through onlookers, he gazes straight at the camera.
A black and white photo: A couple, seen from behind, looks into the sky, their heads together, the man's arm around the woman.
A black and white photo: A Latino man, with a large black mustache, wears a large hat and a button down shirt. He looks to his right, pushing a pallet cart on a crowded, sun dappled sidewalk.
A black and white photo: A Latino couple walks down a crowded sidewalk; the woman wears all white; the man all black, along with a giant novelty top hat featuring the US flag.
A black and white photo: Two men walk in a bike lane carrying so many balloons that the man in front is hidden from sight; the second seems to be a head with a cowboy hat with a body of balloons.
A black and white photo: Seen close, black girls adjust their tutus, seeming to prepare for a performance.
A man with pale skin and a brown bowl cut seems to march under a row of flags on a very sunny day.
A black and white photo: A slice of light illuminates the body of a white boy, perhaps 13, in swim trunks. He sits on a railing, his head bowed, largely in shadow. A woman, her hands on her hips, faces him and speaks to him.
Beneath an ornate streetlight walk three figures: a white boy clutching a tote bag, and two curvy white women who look at him, as he looks at the camera.
An Indian man in a red polo raises a small brown dog with curly fur over his head with one hand, and raises a peace sign with his other. Another Indian man, in sunglasses and a print shirt, laughs.
A black and white photo: Sitting at the base of a statue featuring a cloaked soldier on a horse are men and women with keffiyehs wrapped around their faces. They sit defiantly, heads held high.
A black and white photo: A crowd at a protest. Young women hold signs that read SAVE GAZA and From the River to the Sea. A man in front of them holds a Palestinian flag.
In a black and white photo: Vertical light leaks stain the frame. A crowd. People sit, most wrapped in keffiyehs. A man in sunglasses holds the Palestinian flag.
A black and white photo. Seen from below, a man in a turban speaks into a megaphone; he is surrounded by people raising their fists and a sign that says End the War in Gaza.
A black and white photo: A little Black boy, perhaps five, leans against the White House's gate, his arms raises and entwined in the bars.
In a black and white photo, three women raise their arms, each at the same angle, to take selfies in front of a gate.
A black and white photo: In front of a sculpture that looks like a giant hubcap stand two women, one in the light, one in the shadows. The woman in the light wears a plaid skirt and a white shirt; she's on her phone. The Oman in shadow wears a hoodie and shorts, and talks to the other woman.
On a sunny sidewalk, a tree pruned into a cube in the background, a Latino family emerges from a white gate, the man in black, leading a young girl in a pink dress by the hand. A woman, in a red dress, follows them.
On a sunny street, a wall, painted yellow on its top half and red on its bottom half sits in shadow. In the sun, a man in a yellow t-shirt with red writing reading HOT blows a cloud of smoke that obscures his face.
Two Latino men, one young, one grey haired, walk their bikes up a paved hill. Colorful builds rise behind them. Each wears a blue t-shirt and brown pants, and each is deeply tanned.
A slice of light bisects the frame, making the top and bottom in shadow. A Black woman, her back to the camera raises her hand to her head; a white man facing her makes the same pose, but in mirror image. Another white man in a white shirt with pink and blue triangles looks at her.
A Black man with a hefty bead wears a coat that, with the light of flash, glows neon blue and pink. His hands are in his pockets, and he stands in front of a gate.
A man in a blue motorcycle jacket and helmet pulls on his gloves in front of a black motorcycle with yellow and black checkering on it. He's lit by flash.
A black and white photo: An arched window is lit; the rest of the scene in shades of shadow; a dark figure crosses the expanse beneath the window.
Green light filters through buildings; a figure emerges from the New York City subway, moving from darkness into the bright light.
In a black and white photo: A man in an overcoat wears headphones; he sits on a stone bench, and looks at his phone in front of a giant, glowing Christmas tree.
