Seen through the glass of a display case, the shelf edge and price tags at the bottom, a 14mm ultra-wide lens captures the whole space in one frame with verticals leaning in, showing a blurred object close to the lens in the foreground while the main figure is sharp in the middle distance. Time is stopped in an instant as a hand drops a pen, the pen frozen in mid-air above a desk, with shards of a broken ink bottle and splashes of black ink suspended in the air around a sheet of paper. The hand showing motion blur belongs to a 52-year-old man of East Asian descent with warm golden-tan skin, a short stocky build, short, an angular face with hollow cheeks, amber eyes, soft rounded eyebrows, a thin silver nose ring, densely packed tight coils, short cropped salt-and-pepper hair shaped into a rounded afro, a grey beard, crying with happiness, tears on the cheeks and a trembling smile, wearing an oversized grey hoodie. The background is a blurred messy studio. Strings of small warm bulbs overhead create many tiny points of light and soft pools below. Sharp focus is on the frozen ink droplets. The light is from the warm bulbs overhead. Shot on a 14mm wide-angle lens, the image has a deep depth of field with edge distortion and warm color cast.
