We were misinformed. The couple who couldn't wait to get home to commence their canoodling and instead availed themselves of an old mattress conveniently left on the sidewalk did not, it turns out, brazenly boff in Prospect Heights, as we reported, but rather did so in Park Slope. (We'd assumed this sort of behavior stayed on the wrong side of Flatbush.) This news comes from the photographer himself, who wrote in with more information:

I took the picture of the young couple in Park Slope (not Prospect Heights) getting it on outside my window on the dirty mattress....

Unfortunately, I have to report that they never really got it on full-tilt boogie, as they were way too drunk. Heavy petting and giggling — and her feeling one ear, then the other to make sure her earrings were still on — was about it. Well, save for being naked on a public street.

Yes, she wouldn't want to lose an earring. Because that would be embarrassing.
