Seen in a wall mirror at an angle, the mirror edge cutting the frame diagonally, a 70-year-old vintage event planner stands in a retro-styled lobby. The woman is sulking with a pushed-out lower lip and crossed arms. She is of Southeast Asian descent with warm golden-tan skin, a petite frame, and very short stature. Her face is diamond-shaped with high cheekbones, pale light-blue eyes, and thick straight eyebrows. Her soft springy coils are salt-and-pepper, long mid-back hair, and styled in long box braids. She wears a charcoal two-piece suit, a white shirt, and a dark tie. A potted fern sits on a mid-century modern side table nearby. Faded floral motif decorates the wallpaper behind her. A rotary phone is visible on a surface. The view is captured through a 50mm lens at arm's length. Light from a projector beam shines through the air, with dust floating in it and the colors of the projected image falling across the scene. A very low horizon leaves two thirds of the frame as sky or ceiling. Shot on a 35mm film camera with a medium aperture, capturing the grain and color shifts typical of vintage photography.
