Piece description from the artist
I often enjoy watching people. People do the most interesting things. Among my favorites is watching the residents of Chinatown gambling and playing cards and dice for small change beneath the Chinatown Gate. They're out there in all weather, I've seen heated debates during snowstorms, the players standing between snow drifts.
