Format 1500 x 1800px height. 2 to 3MB. A street im Queens New York in the late 1970's. Like a Sesame Street scene with Apartment buildings, Shop fronts, fire hydrants, a telephone booth, full trashcans,a few cars parked, two cars driving by. The scene is grimey and there is litter in corners. Further away on the sidewalk are four african american kids playing rope skipping. Two swing the rope, one is hopping and one is watching. They are joyful. Two people just passed by and are seen from behind. In the foreground right, leaning to a typical station wagon of that time, there is a african american teenager looking over to a typical brownstone staircase to the entrance of the building on the left. He is attently watching a group of african american young men who are in moderate punk style DIY attire, one is smoking cigarettes and writing in a notebook. One is holding a boombox. One has drumsticks in his backpocket that are visible. There us a beat up Fender Mustang guitar with a jaquard strap leaning beside the door. They are listening to music from the boombox and enjoying the sounds. Make it look like a painting. See more
