Extreme close-up on one small detail, everything else falling away out of focus, of a 50-year-old frost man standing in a doorway. The man is crying with happiness, tears on the cheeks and a trembling smile, his breath visible in the cold air. He is of Southern African descent with very deep brown skin with cool undertones, a full-figured build, a long narrow face, deep blue eyes, thick straight eyebrows, large loose curls in short cropped hair dyed cherry red in neat cornrows, a full thick beard, and tortoiseshell glasses. He wears a fleece jacket. White frost crystals coat the doorframe and his shoulder, detailed and feathery. The doorframe wood is dark and frozen solid. A single snowflake rests on the man's raised hand. Disposable film camera at arm's length, slightly soft corners. Orange sodium streetlight at night, everything outside its reach in deep blue, the main figure framed by an arch, a window or a hole inside the picture. Shot on a disposable film camera, showing grain, soft focus falloff, and a warm orange color cast against deep blue shadows.
