Prompt
A rainy autumn afternoon on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village New York City 1976. A 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS in faded burnt orange is double-parked outside a cluttered record shop. The sidewalk is wet and reflective, puddles mirroring neon signs. A young man leans against the brick wall wearing a suede fringe jacket over a band t-shirt, faded Wrangler jeans with a wide belt, and Converse All-Stars. Next to him a woman in a suede miniskirt, turtleneck sweater, and knee-high brown leather boots holds an umbrella. The record shop window displays vinyl LPs by David Bowie and the Ramones. A handwritten poster on the door reads live folk music tonight. Fire escapes zigzag up red brick buildings. Trash bags line the curb. Shot in moody documentary style with desaturated cool tones, rain-slicked surfaces, and the characteristic softness of 1970s street photography with visible film grain and muted greens and browns.
