Basil Saunders Jr., “Cop on Motorcycle”

“This picture in Times Square has echoes of the glamorous 1920s,” writes photographer Basil Saunders Jr. “I like the contrast of the policeman with the big signs.”

Mr. Saunders Jr. is a Child Protective Specialist Supervisor II with the Administration for Children’s Services and a member of SSEU Local 371 AFSCME in New York City. This image is included in Unseen America: Photos and Stories by Workers (Regan Books, 2006).
