A vertically oriented black and white gelatin silver print depicts two guards with light skin tones standing between rows of metal X-shaped obstacles and a tall concrete wall. Centered, one guard faces our left while looking through binoculars. Behind the wall, a multi-story apartment building with numerous windows fills the background. Two tall street lamps rise vertically, flanking the guards. A blurred concrete ledge runs along the lower foreground under natural light.
