The human value of urgency is reflected in this image. A child is virtually dragging her mother across New York’s busy 34th Street. Her father and younger sibling casually bring up the rear, while the family crossing in front of her does not seem to be rushing the matter. A flow of other casual walkers fill the background – only the child in the middle of the image seems to have a sense of urgency here. Why the hurry? My guess is that the child is fearful that the light will change in mid-journey. 34th Street is a very wide street at this point.
