First-person view, the photographer's own hands at the bottom edge of the frame, a 39-year-old woman of Caribbean descent steps out of a car wash booth, soaked and dripping. She is grossed out, with her nose wrinkled and tongue half out. She has very deep brown skin with cool undertones, a muscular build with broad arms, and is tall. Her face is wider at the jaw than at the temples, with grey eyes and soft rounded eyebrows. Her tight corkscrew curls are in a buzz cut, jet-black, and neatly trimmed. She wears a witch costume with a pointed hat and a long black cape, with water streaming off the costume's sleeves. A muddy tire print is visible on the white floor of the wash bay. Beside her, a 33-year-old man of Middle Eastern descent waits under an umbrella, blushing and laughing in embarrassment, one hand on the back of the neck. He has light beige skin, a full-figured build, and is short. He has an angular face with hollow cheeks, dark brown eyes, and thin fine eyebrows. His springy ringlet curls are short cropped, soft black with brown glints, and cut into a choppy pixie. He wears a loose white linen shirt and rolled linen trousers, holding a clipboard open against the rain. The scene is shot with a 50mm lens at arm's length. Broad light comes from a lamp on the side turned towards the camera, with the wide side of the face fully lit. A rhythm of similar shapes repeats at regular intervals across the frame, formed by the car wash arches. Shot on 35mm film with natural grain, high dynamic range, and a slight color cast from the car wash lighting.
