Description
This black and white photograph by John Blais captures a candid moment on a Chicago boardwalk. A muscular Black man with dreadlocks wearing shorts, socks, and sneakers walks alongside a woman in a swimsuit and light wrap skirt eating an ice cream. They are captured mid-stride on wooden slats under bright daylight casting long shadows. In the background, other pedestrians stroll along the open walkway near a railing. The composition is shot from a low angle, emphasizing the movement of the foreground subjects against the expansive sky and weathered wooden floor.
