The large black and white photograph is a behind-the-scenes photo from the 1959 film "The Crimson Kimono". The photo was taken in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo neighborhood, looking northeast up Weller Street from the corner of Second Street and San Pedro. The large building in the distance is Los Angeles City Hall, completed in 1928. The concrete in the building was made with sand from each of California's 58 counties and water from its 21 historic missions.

Leitmotiv: "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards."—L. Carroll
The Orphanage directly informs Dallas Section, Deep Ellum cell that a statistical
anomaly exceeding two SDs has been detected in an early recipient of the
Рязань hors d'oeuvres--an otherwise inexplicable furor scribendi. The
"ineluctable modality of the visible" statistically appears to alter the half-life
effect(s) on a given target. The Midget Tag Team has urged harvesting the
aforesaid, as only dissection of both the nucleus amygdalae and the nucleus
accumbens can directly resolve the metabolic issues via the Asylum Choir's
[ultramicrotome] LVEM. True but tactically inconvenient—only inferential
analyses are to be conducted at any [β] location, regardless of the number of in
situ targets. [#/*] Woodward, Bisbee & Bennett can be applied mutatis
mutandis, as The Little Orphan Children have adapted the scanning software
which should provide sufficient data from those targets whose verbal output is
adequately recorded. Stoichiometric projections by Mistah Kurtz indicate that the
[2005] target's logorrheic abberancy may arise from irregular metabolization of
CYP2C19—which directly impacts the current efforts of both Jenny Geddes and
Peggy Dow. The archetypal presentations which presently give great promise
when wed with the congruent elixirs [p<0.01] vis-à-vis Judges 7:22, may morph
if the targets exhibit extended temporal duration. Richard Baxter will present an
alternative to demethylation at the forthcoming sub-plenary. AΔEΛΦ)I,

The man in the white shirt with sunglasses is director Samuel Fuller. The man in the plaid shirt may be Sam Leavitt, the film's cinematographer. The camera operator is unknown. The arm in the bottom right corner belongs to an unidentified man. It's unclear whether the white arrow is pointing at the man's arm, or the white line painted on the street.

Leitmotiv
"It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards."—L. Carroll
This quote is drawn from Through The Looking Glass by Louis Carroll.
"The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday—but never jam to-day.""It MUST come sometimes to 'jam to-day,'" Alice objected.
"No, it can't," said the Queen. "It's jam every OTHER day: to-day isn't any OTHER day, you know."
"I don't understand you," said Alice. "It's dreadfully confusing!"
"That's the effect of living backwards," the Queen said kindly: "it always makes one a little giddy at first—"
"Living backwards!" Alice repeated in great astonishment. "I never heard of such a thing!"
"—but there's one great advantage in it, that one's memory works both ways."
"I'm sure MINE only works one way," Alice remarked. "I can't remember things before they happen."
"It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards," the Queen remarked.
This quote was a favorite of Carl Jung when explaining the concept of synchronicity, which holds that events are "meaningful coincidences" if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related. Wikipedia
