Contrasts in style, New York City, New York, 2009

I contrast two figures here, headed in opposing directions and taking different approaches to rain gear. The man heading towards us envelops himself in a sheet of plastic that covers his entire upper body. The woman at right never sees him. She patiently waits for her light to change, shielding herself from the pelting rain under a dainty pink umbrella.

You call them "large plastic bags," while I call them "sheets of plastic" here -- actually, they are those disposable rain ponchos you buy for a few dollars, just for such an emergency as this. When it rains, every drug store in New York hauls them out, along with buckets of cheap umbrellas.

Where do they find these large plastic bags?
