There's a lot to love here. I would definitely dig more in this series. I love guessing what's going on. I find NY fascinating also, though I'd never want to live there.
First of all, the reflection in the window, just holy wow. It's mesmerizing.
Then the story of the two. I'm pretty deeply immersed in racial justice issues in the US, and I've seen first hand how incredibly awful it is. In fact I have read some awful corruption stories about NYPD specifically. Of course the young man could be a repeat offender. It is perhaps my bias that makes me look at him and think he is being hassled. He just looks tired of it all. My first feeling of the photo is a mix of anger, frustration, and sadness. Whatever is happening, there is clearly a power differential. Lots of intricate emotion here. Thanks for sharing.
