A small set of black-and-white street photographs made while walking downtown Washington, D.C. Scenes include a sidewalk fruit stand and vendor, pedestrians in mid-1970s dress, people waiting at a corner, storefront-window reflections (including a self-portrait reflection of the photographer), and everyday public-space moments (pigeons, crowds, quick glances). These frames capture the texture of the city—faces, sidewalks, and passing time—without staging or posing.
