This scene looks to me like an empty theater set, perhaps during intermission. I like the contrast of the ornate building in the background (P.S. 165, the first ‘H-plan’ school designed by architect C. B. J. Snyder^[1]) set against the graffiti^[2]-marked rooftops of the tenements^[3] in the foreground. It’s almost like we’re waiting for something to happen. If you compare the graffiti here to “Rooftop Embrace” you can figure out which photo was shot first (hint: don’t be fooled by “BAM”).
