View from under a table or a shelf, its underside a dark band across the top of the frame, of a 59-year-old bowling man alone sitting on the carpeted floor next to the lane. The man is laughing so hard the eyes squeeze shut and the head tips back, holding a bowling ball that is too large for his lap. He is of Polynesian descent with rich chestnut-brown skin, broad shoulders and a solid frame, a heart-shaped face with a pointed chin, grey eyes, high arched eyebrows, thick coarse straight hair dyed pastel pink in an undercut with the top swept over. He wears a fitted cycling jersey and padded bib shorts. The lane number '14' is scratched off the rubber divider nearby, and a single dropped popcorn kernel rests near the shoe rental machine. Macro lens a few centimetres from the surface, a razor-thin plane of focus. Clamshell light from above and below, an even glow with a bright catchlight in the eyes, the main figure as a dark silhouette against a bright background. Shot on a high-end digital camera with a macro lens, showing sharp focus on the face and jersey with a very shallow depth of field.
