Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Photographer's caption reads, "Five minutes and seventeen seconds into the New Year, Sixto and Jose were settling into Denny's late shift rhythms. New Year's evening had been mostly quiet, they said. There was a single exception that I also happened to witness. About an hour before midnight, a young couple began an escalating, alcohol-fueled confrontation. It began at the counter with a few sharp words and ended by the bus bench out front with the woman screaming "I hate you." She hurled a clump of car keys as far as she could into the traffic. She set off west on Sunset sobbing. "A bad way to begin the year," commented Jose."
