Eye-level view, square on and very tight, of an 8-year-old girl of Western European descent standing on the keyboard of a skyscraper-sized laptop in a city square, typing a message that projects onto the side of the building. The girl has very fair porcelain skin with pink undertones, loose barely-there waves of shoulder-length red hair neatly combed, and wears a red hoodie and jeans with patched knees, concentrating hard with her tongue poking out. A pigeon perches on the edge of the laptop screen, and cars stop in traffic below the laptop. The projection on the building shows a friendly smiley face. The macro lens sits a few centimetres from the surface, creating a razor-thin plane of focus. Strings of small warm bulbs overhead create many tiny points of light and soft pools below, while lines of the surroundings converge on the main figure. Shot on a medium format digital back with shallow depth of field, crisp focus on the girl's hands and the keyboard keys, and soft bokeh on the background traffic.
