This is a contact sheet displaying multiple black and white photographs of a man captured from head to knee in various poses as he sweeps the street. He wears a cap, a button-up shirt with sleeves rolled up, and pants. The man's facial features include a focused expression, and he appears to be in motion in many of the shots, either sweeping or taking a pause. The photographs capture the setting from different angles, showing a busy urban street with several parked cars, buildings, and steps leading up to a porch-like structure in some frames. The background consists of an urban landscape that includes tall buildings and a relatively narrow street.
