The image is a black and white photograph of a man standing on a sidewalk next to two trash cans. The man is wearing a jacket, pants, and a cap, and is holding a bag in his left hand. He appears to be looking at something in his right hand. The trash cans are rectangular in shape and have graffiti on them. There is a telephone pole on the left side of the image and a tree on the right side. In the background, there is a street with cars and people walking on the sidewalk. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber.
