This photo displays a common scene during this time: children outside playing. It displays children doing what was just normal for them. Now, it is a rarity to see children outside unless accompanied by a cell phone or console. The world at this moment was a world not yet consumed by technology. When we still lacked the constant gratification that the touch of a button could give. A simpler time.

First, this picture shows one major side of New York: the numerous buildings that inhabit it. Each building pictured here is completely different from the one next to it and for me, it is just pleasant to look at. Second, on the men sitting on the beam are profound examples of the labor put into not only the Empire State Building, but the many other tall buildings in the city. In short, this picture gives the viewer a better appreciation of the work that went into making the city as it is now.
