The street photograph captures the flow of pedestrians on Lexington Avenue, one of the main arteries of Manhattan that crosses the island from south to north. Faces of passersby of all ages and backgrounds cross on the crowded sidewalk, embodying the ethnic and cultural diversity that characterizes New York. In the background, the skyscrapers of Midtown and store signs can be glimpsed. A young man with a camera around his neck crosses the scene, perhaps a tourist or another street photographer. The image conveys the energy and incessant rhythm of New York life, where millions of stories brush past each other every day.
