Wrapping up our Jules Aarons photo series, this week we have an iconic neighborhood photo of a Sunday morning on the corner of Gus P. Napoli Square. This is the corner of Moon Street and North Square, across the street from Sacred Heart Church.

Look closely at how Aarons was able to capture the facial expressions of these men! He truly had an eye for moments of every day life that he documented all across the city. If you are interested in learning more about Aarons’ work, visit http://www.julesaarons.com/photography/47331

  1. I love this photo. Looks like a Sunday as a few of the gentlemen have on suits. This reminds me also of Sunday in front of Burdens. Nice memory!
