Over-the-shoulder view from behind a person in the foreground, the back of their head and shoulder soft at the frame edge, looking at a 25-year-old man of Central American descent sitting at a wooden table in a 1950s kitchen. The man has rich chestnut-brown skin, a very tall solid frame with broad shoulders, a long narrow face with grey eyes and high arched eyebrows, and soft springy coils of ear-length hair dyed pastel pink in an undercut with the top swept over. He wears a full thick beard and a black fine-knit turtleneck, giving a mischievous sideways glance with a sly half-grin. He pours a dark soda from a glass bottle into a tall glass. A rotary dial telephone sits on the sideboard in the background, and a ceramic mug with a chipped rim rests on a saucer nearby. Medium-format film camera at waist level with gentle falloff of focus, using a narrow flashlight beam picking things out of darkness to cast the main figure as a dark silhouette against a bright background. Shot on medium-format film with chromatic aberration and halation typical of early color film.
