In the next photograph, we witness the emergence of a gentle giant from a child's playhouse. This traditional theme evokes many emotional reactions from viewers. How do we know he is a gentle giant and not a deranged ogre despite the look on his face? Why, it must be that he carries love for little children in his soul given that the small house he lives in has a heart carved out of the tiny door he can barely fit through. Note the patriotic gesture of the nation's flag in the front garden. It is a perfect touch for our upcoming Independence Day!
Last but not least, is an archival photograph, circa 1990. It was brought out from the library to solicit responses from older gentlemen who still fondly relish the days of scouring the best $10 clothing stores for the choicest cutting edge fashions on Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights and at the Fulton Street Mall in downtown Brooklyn, as if to summarize the joy de vivre of the period. Pay special attention to the then-contemporary vernacular that characterizes the expression of the subject in the photograph: "WORK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!" The use of thirteen exclamation points emphasizes that the glory days are back!
