I am the girl. He is the boy.

The image is among those included in “The Gender Show,” an exhibition that showcases a range of images from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, N.Y. The show, curated by Alison Nordstrom, the museum’s senior curator of photographs, and Jessica Johnston, assistant curator of photographs, launches Friday evening.
