Shot through a window pane with raindrops and faint reflections on the glass of an 80-year-old man of South American descent standing alone against a brick wall. The man has rich chestnut-brown skin, broad shoulders, a very tall solid frame, a long narrow face, grey eyes, high arched eyebrows, a small birthmark on one cheek, defined S-shaped waves in ear-length hair dyed pastel pink and combed into a sharp side part, and a few days of stubble, holding a mixtape cassette player up to his ear in a nostalgic pose while wearing a tight 2010s band t-shirt and distressed jeans. A faded sticker from a now-closed skate shop is on the brick behind him, his shoelaces are undone and trailing on the pavement, and a single cherry blossom petal rests on his shoulder. Medium-format film camera at waist level with a gentle falloff of focus, the main figure off-centre on a third with the rest of the frame showing the location. A street lamp in thick fog creates a halo of light and everything beyond it fading to grey. Shot on medium format film with visible grain, shallow depth of field, and a cool color cast.
