This is a black and white photograph of a street corner with a shadow cast on a building wall. The scene includes a sidewalk corner with a vertical post in the foreground. The white building wall has a reflective window displaying a poster advertising a boxing match between Otero and Fernandez on Tuesday, January 7th. Shadows are visible in the image, such as the post's shadow and another resembling a person holding a camera projected onto the wall. Weedy plants grow at the base of the wall where it meets the sidewalk, adding texture to the scene.
