Young Gawker, Essex Junction, Vermont
1974

A black and white photograph captures a contemplative individual resting their chin on their hand, with a blurred background of festive lights suggesting a fairground or carnival setting. The person is framed by a wooden ledge and metal bars, adding a candid, introspective quality to the image.
