This photo opportunity presented itself along the East River at Pier 42 on one of the hottest muggiest days of July 2019. A person was sunbathing in solitude on a cement lot encased by fencing. I went around the fence to get the shot
I quickly captured this in the evening after getting back from a long day touring in Florence during spring break 2019. My friend is reaching for her journal to write in before she falls asleep. On the outskirts of Florence, the hotel looked like it was frozen in the 1970s. I was glad to have captured its vintage feeling.
