Staten Island, New York 1962

"Staten Island, New York" (1962) is a black and white photograph by William Carter that captures a young girl standing in a kitchen. The image focuses on the girl, who is dressed in a plaid dress and has a serious expression on her face. Her pose and expression suggest a moment of quiet contemplation, perhaps reflecting on her surroundings or her own thoughts. The simple composition, with the girl as the central figure against a backdrop of a kitchen stove and other household items, emphasizes the intimacy of the domestic space. This photograph is a poignant example of Carter's ability to capture the quiet moments of everyday life.
