Des Amis
While wandering around taking photographs in the south end of the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, I came across this fabulous group of kids. After gathering themselves together, they clearly wanted to pose for my camera. The location is on Cambridge Place, looking southward toward Gates Avenue.
It would be interesting to meet these lovely people today. If I made an image like this currently, I would get the names of all involved—which I did not do at the time, alas.
