Canyon Country, California, June 1983
1983, printed 1993

A young girl and an adult man sit side by side on a low brick wall in front of a house with a well-manicured lawn and a backdrop of rolling hills. Both are barefoot and dressed in summer clothes, looking directly at the camera with neutral expressions. The street behind them is quiet and residential, with a clear sky above.
