- Description
- Two color photographic prints of Yo-Yo at Spring Street Park in New York City.
- Yo-Yo is in the foreground of the photograph, just slightly off center towards the proper right side of the image. Visible from the hips up, she is wearing a light heathered grey spaghetti strap tank top and dark blue bottoms. Her hair is in long braids with a wrapped scarf in a black, white, pink, green and gold paisley print holding them back from her face. She wears a small silver hoop in each ear, along with a silver chain necklace with heart-shaped pendant, matching silver chain bracelets on each wrist, and a large silver ring on her left hand. Her left hand is on her hip and her right hand is holding a red popsicle near her open mouth. She is standing on an outdoor basketball court. There are six (6) men in the background playing basketball.
- Both prints are printed on Kodak Endura paper, with the manufacturer's mark printed in a repeating pattern on the back. At the bottom right of each print is the photographer's signature, date of the print, title, date of capture and [1/25].
