A window in a Brooklyn brownstone building, viewed at an angle, heavily obscured by climbing plants clinging to the facade above and to its right. In the foreground, four sparrows sit perched among a mass of green leaves — three of them clustered closer together beneath the window, while the fourth sits on a slender stem higher up.

View of the Counter Service sandwich shop on West 14th Street in New York. An enormous yellow sign extends from the second to the fourth floor of a building facade, displaying simply the word “SANDWICHES” above a huge black arrow pointing down at a door at sidewalk level. The door is surrounded by frosted glass windows on which the word “Sandwiches” is repeatedly printed in a row. Some of the interior of the shop can be glimpsed through a clear section of the glass. The store is flanked by a Five Guys restaurant and a wine shop, under the upper levels of facades in different architectural styles. Various people stand on the sidewalk waiting for their bus, most notably a woman wearing a long white coat, white headphones, and white sneakers and carrying a black-and-white striped bag. A delivery worker on a bicycle whizzes by in the foreground, fuzzy with motion blur.

Photo of a rocky shoreline next to a Brooklyn pier. A line of cresting waves stretches from the foreground into the middle distance where it meets a pile of large concrete blocks, some of which are painted to look like alphabet blocks. One block to the right of the pile displays graffiti which reads “No Justice No Peace.” Leafless trees stand behind the blocks. Beyond is a concrete barrier with more graffiti tags and chain-link fencing, behind which sits a large mound of earth. The sky above is blue with a few white clouds.

Black and white photo of a clear sky at dusk, darker at the upper edge and brightening in a gradient towards the horizon. Off to the left is a waxing crescent moon among a few faint wisps of clouds. Above and to the right of it is Venus, a bright point of light. At the lower third of the image are the silhouettes of two shipping cranes with their booms raised, looking like long-necked beasts, behind the silhouettes of a streetlight and flagpole closer to camera. The foreground is occupied by the dark, boxy shapes of shipping containers behind a metal fence with vertical bars and angled spikes, some of which gleam in the fading light.
