While reading about the bar that Sonny plays jazz in, this is almost exactly what I pictured in my mind when thinking about the area. The lack of people and emptiness of the photo signifies the melancholy that seemingly envelops Harlem all throughout the story. I could see the last scene where the narrator finally listens to Sonny and has the life changing moment happening somewhere on this block. In addition, the black and white add to the 1950’s Harlem feeling.
