The sun catches the glare of a girl’s satin slip dress as she adjusts a tiny leather backpack, her knee-high socks pulled tight against the humid June air. I frame a shot of two guys hunched over a sidewalk game of Pogs, their faces shadowed by the towering *Batman Forever* marquee glowing neon green across the street.
I pivot my Leica toward a discarded newspaper fluttering in the gutter; the lead line screams that **A Year of Rancorous Exchanges Ended With Cortines's Decision**, but honestly, politics feels so lame compared to the light hitting these plaid skirts. A teenager nearby hums a Bryan Adams tune while checking his pager, perfectly silhouetted against the hazy NYC skyline.
